Hi Vic

You won't be dissapointed by Orkney. A couple of good chambered tombs are cuween hill (well sign posted and clearly marked on the OS) there's a bit of a steep climb and you have to literally crawl on your hand and knees to get in. There's a torch in a box by the entrance but take a spare in case it's been nicked otherwise you won't be able to see a thing. Another good one we did was Unstan, close to Stromness. The tomb of the eagles is accessible by road from the mainland although on a different island. Didn't find this out untill I had left so missed it and was gutted!

Have fun

South Ronaldsay and Burray been connected to Mainland by the Churchill Barriers since WWII. on the right ferry you can visit Tomb of the Eagles first thing on disembarling
