Three large stones as part of a stone circle, with a couple more in the background continuing the ring. In the foreground is a bunch of heather, some blooming purple. The sky is cloudy but bright with patches of blue.
A classic Orkney view... and one that I will never tire of, no matter how many times I visit.
📌 Ring of Brodgar

A historic but occupied cottage on Orkney roofed with vast slabs of sandstone waterproofed with roofing cement.
On Westray island in the north group in Orkney, buildings remain which are roofed vast stone slab - pointing to the islanders expertise with this unusual building material - from the self supported cantilever of the Maeshowe to the proposed roofing of Skara Brae #archeology #orkney #visitorkney

The view over Orkney's prehistoric landscape—In the foreground is the chambered tomb of Maeshowe, built 5000-years-ago. Across the Harray Loch you can just make out the monoliths at the Ring of Brodgar too.
The view over Orkney’s prehistoric landscape is incredible! The 5000-year-old Maeshowe tomb and the distant Ring of Brodgar are reminders of history’s depth. Can’t wait to experience this stunning place myself! 🌍✈️ #VisitOrkney #TravelGoals #Wanderlust #ExploreTheWorld #HistoryLovers
A throwback photo of Scapa Beach to celebrate the first snow showers of the season. It’s bitterly cold in Orkney today, feeling like -4C, compared to +14C last week! #visitorkney #orkney #winter #snow

If your visiting #Orkney then I can’t recommend a visit to Jon at http://www.yellowbirdgallery.scot highly enough. Fabulous bronzes, paintings, prints and cards - all based on Orcadian birds and landscapes. And Jon is so engaging and personable. You’ll love it! #VisitOrkney @orkneycom
