Just a few of the remaining 27 standing stones (there were originally 60) in the Neolithic Ring of Brodgar. Truly awe-inspiring.

Mine. Bits of the Ring of Brodgar and less than a mile down the road, The Standing Stones of Stenness. BTW @paulmmcooper.bsky.social I LOVED your Mongels 2-parter!

For decades, the uncertainty surrounding the interior of the Ring of Brodgar has been put down to the fact it is unexcavated. A statement that, it seems, is not entirely correct.

Flash back to my previous #Orkney life for #StandingStoneSunday ... This is #RingofBrodgar in sunnier times with the heather blooming. Hope you've all 'weathered' Storm Bert ok up there ❤️

Cruise control: could a £5 ‘entry’ fee help balance Orkney’s needs with tourist demand?

Cruise control: could a £5 ‘entry’ fee help balance Orkney’s needs with tourist demand?
With tourists outnumbering locals by 20:1, islanders say levy is needed to help protect neolithic sites and maintain public services

I never stop feeling amazed and fortunate that someone's once in a lifetime visit to UNESCO World Heritage site; the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, is on a regular public transport route for me.
I never take living here for granted 🤩 #Orkney #RingOfBrodgar

Part of the Ring of Brodgar stone circle, superbly located between the Loch of Stenness and the Loch of Harray on Orkney's West Mainland. When erected, over 4,000 years ago, 60 stones stood here: now there are 36. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Part of the Ring of Brodgar stone circle in Orkney. The image shows an arc of six standing stones under a clear blue sky. The tallest stone is on the right of the frame and has been split vertically. The others curve around to the left and there are two people standing close to the third. A loch and hills can be seen in the background.

Silhouettes of 12 standing stones highlighted against sunset skyline. Deep blues at top through pale blue to pale orange and yellow behind the stones. The stones are part of the 3rd largest stone circle in UK and thought to be Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age in date. Their function isn't known but it's suggested as a ritual or ceremonial meeting place with the stones possibly forming an astronomical calendar scheduling agricultural seasons. The ring is set within moorland on a raised mound on the Brodgar isthmus in Orkney, Scotland and overlooks two lochs (Stenness and Harray) and the recent excavations of a monumental Neolithic complex (around 40 buildings excavated more than 60 known to exist and geophysics suggesting many more)

You know when you should be doing one thing and you get distracted by a sudden urge to play with multiple exposures of your 2018 photos of #Orkney? #RingofBrodgar This is making me happy. Now I have to remember what I was supposed to be doing....

🌞#SummerSolstice!

Ancient Stone circles like the #RingOfBrodgar may have aligned with the solstice sun — places for ritual & celebration.

Solstice comes from Latin solstitium, “sun standing still.”
As for the Celts? Folklore & Roman sources suggest hilltop bonfires lit midsummer nights.
