Neolithic Scotland and more from the Orkney Islands

Another round of processed shots from Scotland ... I promise there are only a few left ;)
Scotland is home to a number of neolithic sites dating back as far as 5000 years. Two of them are the Ring of Brodgar and the Standing Stones of Stennis. Pretty cool sites similar to their more famous cousin "Stonehenge". Additionally, lighthouses and medieval buildings abound.
I hope you enjoy.

Nice photos. The correct spelling of the name of the standing stones, however, iis ”Stenness.”

Nice - brings back wonderful memories! When we were at the Ring of Brodgar there was a young woman who walked the whole way around it, touching every stone as she went. She was either a Druid wannabe or had read "Outlander" one too many times! We later saw her standing in the middle of the circle with her arms outstretched to the sky.
