Il palazzo del conte è uno storico edificio in rovina del villaggio scozzese di Birsay, nell'isola di Mainland , fatto costruire tra il 1569 e il 1574 o 1579 ca. da Robert Stewart, I conte delle Orcadi ed ampliato negli anni ottanta del XVI secolo.
Nel 1569, Robert Stewart, figlio illegittimo di re Giacomo V di Scozia e che, secondo quanto riportato in un'iscrizione nel palazzo, si riteneva sovrano delle Orcadi volle far costruire per sé una residenza facendo probabilmente demolire un preesistente palazzo del vescovo.
