Maeshowe Chambered Tomb View all content for Maeshowe

Pretty impressive engineering! Big stones, especially the one in the entrance passage. Each of the side chamber blocking stones in isolation are a bit hefty, can't see that they were shifted in and out very often. Having said that, the presence of a tombful of other tourists sort of reduced the atmosphere a bit. It had more gravitas the previous evening in the dark, even though the entrance was locked. Be prepared to crouch on the way in and out.
