Day 22 - Orkney - 7 June

Visited Maeshowe neolithic chambered cairn built in 2800 BC with Viking Norse runic inscriptions.
Stenness Druidic standing stones 3100 BC.
Mystical stone circle at Brodgar.

5000 yr old Skara Brae prehistoric stone village (older than the pyramids)
Great view but I know why they left these perfect houses - because even though it was warmer then the perpetual wind would have been there 5000 years ago!


Skaill House 1650 house.
Brough of Birsay.


Broch of Gurness.
