History
Before the arrival of settlers, the Northern Isles were inhabited by a number of tribes such as the Islayas people, the Islayas built fishing settlements as well as a number of stone structures related to their religion To-Keng or "way of being". The largest of these is located near Kirkwall and consists of 18 stone pillars leading to the highest point in the Northern Isles, Mt Jiaxiang. In 837, settlers of the White Flower Temple established a walled settlement on Kirkwall Island. They converted most of the local population to Minjian and built a temple on top of Mt Jianxing.
