- Description
- Standing stones - and lots of them. Round the truly impressive Ring Of Brodgar, passed the now re-covered Ness of Brodgar site and on to the Standing Stones of Stenness. Really impressive and I thought a good balance between preserving what's there for the future and letting you get close to the stones. At the Ring Of Brodgar, they ask you to walk around the stones because of erosion fears but there are no overwhelming security fences. At the Stenness Standing Stones you are free to do what you want. We then went along to the Barnhouse Settlement where recent layers sit on top of old buildings. Very interesting but I expect Skara Brae may top this! Maeshowe was booked up until September!
