Orkney's archaeological 'treasures trail' in the national spotlight

Archaeological Treasures Trail – Orkney

Orkney is one of the richest Neolithic landscapes in Europe – a place of stone circles, villages and burial monuments. Several monuments on Orkney are part of The Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site (WHS) including the Ring of Brodgar Stone Circle and Henge, Maeshowe, Skara Brae and the Stones of Stenness. All these monuments are relics of the period when great civilisations started to arise across the world.
