Highlights
  • Skara Brae - Orkney’s captivating Neolithic settlement. Constructed around 3100BC, it stands as one of the most ancient settlements in Europe and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the sophisticated structures and lifestyle of an early advanced civilization.\n\nConsider visiting the adjacent Skaill House as well.\n\nTo secure your visit, please book your Skara Brae tickets in advance at: www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/skara-brae/ \n- Yesnaby Cliffs - A stunning and rugged coastline, sought after not just for photography, but also for observing birds and marine mammals. \n\n- Ring of Brodgar - An enigmatic circle of stones, providing insight into the ancient spiritual practices of Orkney. Erected 5000 years ago, it predates both Stonehenge and the great Pyramids of Egypt. The surrounding area, nestled in a picturesque landscape, is a haven for wildlife typical to Orkney. \n\n- Standing Stones of Stenness - The remains of an even older ceremonial stone circle, central to Neolithic Orkney’s heritage. It is older than the Ring of Brodgar!… \n\n- Unstan Chambered Cairn - This ancient burial mound, constructed over 5000 years ago, was built by one of the first farming communities in Orkney, who settled near the Loch of Stenness.
