Adam Stanford of Aerial Cam has just put this video out, the music has rather a hypnotic affect on you. The rock art is pecked into the stone and shaped like a 'heart'.

"A decorated stone was found in St.Ola, Orkney, within part of a Neolithic Structure, it has been dated to 3,200 BC making it the oldest rock art on Orkney."

More information below, the Neolithic structure can be found at the bottom of Wideford Hill.
