In contrast, if you hop over to the Knap of Howar houses on Papa Westray you CAN stand where they stood and even have a rummage in their cupboards. We got a really warm "good stoney experience" glow after visiting Howar instead of the simmering frustration produced at Skaraworld.

I wish I'd have gone there.

I was a bit "hmmmmmm" at Skara Brea too. We were only allowed to look into the houses and there were soooo many signs warning us not to go near them. It was teaming with schoolkids and it was raining. So y'know.

Being inside the houses must be amazing.

Cuween Hill on the other hand. . . wow!

All of the Chambered tombs on Orkney blew us away, even the concrete roofed ones were pretty breathtaking. For us personally the biggest wow! was Knowe of Lairo, the chamber there just defies description, constantly erect neck hair during the visit.

We shot every inch of the inside of all the Orkney tombs in spherical panorama so we have complete VR tours of the interiors. The first of these, Quoyness on Sanday, is up on our website

You'll need to have JAVA installed on your puter (most folk have) to view the VR tour.
