Standing Stones of Stenness
We will stop to take a walk and have photo oppertunites round our earliest stone circle, erected about 5400 years ago. Just north of Standing Stones we have a small neolithic village called Barnhouse, unlike Skara Brae this was only in use for a few centuries dating from 3115BC to 2875BC.
Ring of Brodgar
As we continue our descent into our neolithic past we come to our biggest stone circle, The Ring of Brodgar part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. We believe this magnificent stone circle is the last of the great Neolithic Monuments built on the Ness dating back to 2500BC and 2000BC. These are 5000 years older than Stone Henge and Pyramids of Giza.
