The local boatman - ask at the (only) shop - will take you over from Eday to the Calf where there are three chambered tombs in reasonable condition. See also Calf of Eday Long and Calf of Eday SE. This site has 7m diameter cairn covering passage and four-part chamber (both accessible). Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
