Overview
Orkney's concentration of Neolithic monuments rivals and predates Stonehenge, with the Ring of Brodgar, Skara Brae village, and Maeshowe chambered cairn all within a short walking circuit of each other. The Ness of Brodgar excavation continues to reveal a ceremonial complex of extraordinary scale and sophistication. Walking the Mainland circuit in winter solstice aligns with the solar geometry of monuments designed 5000 years ago.
