Skara Brae
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Aug 2006
Skara Brae submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Aug 2006. Trying to get an 'in the monument' photo at Skara Brae is very difficult. Paths go around, over, but not in. Visitor numbers are too high to permit access. Some of the pathways over will have to be closed due to compaction of the neolithic walls underneath. If visitor numbers isn't enough to cause its own problems, the sea is beginning to eat around the coastal defences too. So, this is one of the few angles where one can try to capture an interactive photo.

Stenness
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Aug 2006
Stenness submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Aug 2006. The mountains to the west of Orkney dominate the skyline of the Stenness / Brodgar area, and I found many monuments framed in their view by these. I assume one must be Ward Hill on Hoy.

Rennibister Souterrain
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2006
Rennibister Souterrain submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Aug 2006. Are there Runes recorded here? In my opinion there appear to be runic strokes on this stone, and on another harder to photograph stone here. Have left this large to make it more visible.

Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2006
Grain Earth House submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Aug 2006. The unbelievable setting for this Iron Age subterranean chamber - an Industrial Estate & Warehouses. Perhaps a continuation of purpose in the same area?

Blackhammer
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2006
Blackhammer submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Aug 2006. The more southerly facing side of Blackhammer; though its situation is beautiful and relative preservation to be thankful for, the interior concrete walls and skylights don't give quite such an impressive ambience. Typical of most of the tombs here. Nevertheless, unmissable.

Visited: Yes on 31st Jul 2006
Comet Stone (Orkney) submitted by TimPrevett on 31st Jul 2006. The Comet Stone with summery meadow, looking to the Ring of Brodgar. Amazingly, this was the middle of summer, and though this looks pleasantly warm - Orkney was the coldest place in the British Isles on this day. Fleece, gloves, and winter hat were needed.
