#10 Stones of Stenness: Time Before Time -
Orkney has no shortage of mysterious places. These islands off the northeast tip of Scotland have one of the world’s greatest collections of ancient sites, lying thick on the land, places for the living and the dead, built 5,000 years ago and built to last. If I had to recommend just one, I think it would be the Stones of Stenness, the most ancient stone circle in the British Isles. This place is more than 700 years older than Stonehenge. But I don’t have to recommend just one because the others are only a mile or two away. Out in pastureland is Maeshow tomb, and up the road about a mile is the Ring of Brodgar, and in between is the new excavations at the Ness of Brodgar, a Neolithic temple complex. Another couple of miles will take you over to the coast to the Stone Age village of Skara Brae, so perfectly preserved you'll wonder if should be snooping into these people’s living rooms. And if in the evening a fog should roll in at Stenness, the mystery will deepen and you might listen for the whispers. #islandobsession #scotland
