Orkney Scotland Tour - Skara Brae, Ring of Brodgar & Stones of Stenness

Join me on an Orkney Scotland Tour at Skara Brae, Ring of Brodgar & Stones of Stenness. From Kirkwall, I caught a taxi and saw these archeological sites plus St. Magnus Cathedral. Orkney is an archipelago with about 70 islands off the northeastern coast of Scotland. Sixteen of the islands are inhabited. Mainland Orkney is the largest island with the capital city, Kirkwall. The two stone circles, Stones of Stenness and Ring of Brodgar stand near each other within walking distance on a wonderful nature reserve. Also, the Maeshowe burial chamber lies nearby. All three monuments show that Orkney was an area of ceremonial importance. It takes about one hour to walk the circuit between the 2 with gorgeous scenery on a land bridge between Stenness Loch and Harray Loch. At almost 5,000 years old, Skara Brae is one of the most preserved settlements in northern Europe. Lying on the coast of the Bay of Skaill, it faces the prevailing winds. Interestingly, Skara Brae remained buried underneath sand dunes until discovered after a storm in 1850.
