Overview

Join us for a visit to Orkney where you will see some of the oldest and best-preserved Neolithic sites in Europe. Designated a Unesco World Heritage Site, Orkney is a unique place worth visiting.
On this adventure, our starting point is the Stones of Stenness, four giant megaliths which date back to 3100BC making it one of the oldest stone circles in Britain.
Second stop, Ring of Brodgar is the finest known circular late Neolithic or early Bronze Age stone ring. Get your cameras ready to take some great pictures!!
Our next stop will be Broch of Gurness, an Iron Age broch village where prosperous farmers had settled.
Be ready now for our second most visited site on Orkney, the Italian Chapel.
Next stop, St. Magnus Cathedral is in the heart of Kirkwall, the capital city of the Orkney Islands. Also known as the “light in the North”.
Our tour guide will give you some free time.

What To Expect

Standing Stones of Stenness

Originally there were twelve stones, some standing up to six metres high. Today only four remain. The function is unclear but our best guess is that they were involved in activities and ceremonies celebrating the relationship between living and past communities.
