Ring of Brodgar, Stone Circle and Henge is thought to be around 5000 years old. The stones themselves, came from at least seven different sites in Orkney. It is interesting to think about this place brining people from all over the islands together. #heartofneolithicorkney #photography
The photo shows 10 of the remaining standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar. The inner circle on which the stones stand is comprised of short grass. The inside of teh circle is covered in heather. The sky is blue with some fair weather clouds.

Another site in the #HeartofneolithicOrkney. Skara Brae, the best preserved neolithic village in northern Europe. It would have been further from the sea 5000 years ago but today it is beautifully located by a white beach in the Bay of Skaill. More details in ALT. #photography #Orkney
The photo shows part of the neolithic village of Skara Brae above the white beach in the Bay of Skaill. The photo shows house number 8. The furniture made out of stone slabs is visible. Flag stone is prevailent in Orkney and naturally breaks into slabs, ideal for building. The village was covered under a sand dune until a storm and very hight tide uncovered it around 1850. This, resulted in the village being incredibly well preserved. The walls of this building survive c.1.5 m high. Prof. V. Gordon Childe excavated this building in the late 1928. The interiors is slightly different to teh others and one theory is, that house 8 was workshop based on the quantity of black chert blocks and flaked tools spread across the floor.

Since some people are talking about the revealed £2 single fare bus cap.
Today; using the already applied fare cap in the North of the UK (you know the North of Scotland Burnham), I went out to @nessofbrodgar.bsky.social in the #HeartOfNeolithicOrkney
Yay for #PublicTransport

Archaeological dig at the Ness of Brodgar on Mainland Orkney. This year's focused dig is being filmed by Time Team. Photo shows the trench site, quite shallow with some form of neolithic structure in it and various archaeologists digging in different areas.
