The Orkney Islands Private Tours

Orkney holds one of the densest concentrations of prehistory in Europe: the Neolithic village of Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, the Stones of Stenness and the chambered tomb of Maeshowe, all within a few miles of each other. Kirkwall adds St Magnus Cathedral in red and yellow sandstone, and Scapa Flow keeps its wartime wrecks. Seabirds crowd the cliffs at Yesnaby and Marwick Head from May to July, and the wind rarely stops.
