Re: Vinquoy by jeffrep on Monday, 02 August 2010

One of a number of chambered tombs along the Heritage Trail on the isle of Eday. The most impressive is the Vinquoy Chambered Cairn, a restored Maeshowe-type tomb made from red Eday sandstone, for which the island is well known. It measures approximately 55 feet in diameter and a little over eight feet in height and has an entrance passage leading to a central chamber with four small side-cells.

This Neolithic chambered cairn on Vinquoy Hill commands superb views across much of the Orkney archipelago.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
