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”.

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.
Broch of Gurness
This impressive Iron Age complex is one of the most outstanding examples of a later prehistoric settlement to survive in Scotland.

5.00The guide, Lorraine knew her facts and was proud and excited about her work and country. The tour was was well planned and timed out. The group was just the right size (not too large). It was a great way to experience the Neolithic history of northern Scotland/Orkney.
Best tour we’ve ever taken!

5.00Our guide Ian (I know I spelled the name wrong) but he was absolutely brilliant! He is so passionate about these islands. Knows every nook and cranny, part of history, significance and little tid bits of interesting facts of these islands. We were just so impressed. We would come back here again but only do a tour with him. He truly is the best!
A great tour!
