: On 7th October 1906 Sir Arthur Bignold recorded a deed of gift of parkland (Bignold Park) to the town of Kirkwall. The entry for 20th October 1909 in the minute book of the Bignold Park Committee records a decision to appoint J M Baikie to design a pavilion for the newly gifted park. By 18th March, 1900 plans had been produced and in August of the following year the pavilion was completed. Features of interest to note include the striking decorative balcony which spans the entire front elevation, and the fish-scale tiled roof.
