Orkney

Since I was very young I'd wanted to visit Skara Brae, perhaps the most well-known prehistoric site in Orkney. However, the islands contain an amazing wealth of visible remains, from neolithic to recent times. An excellent place to learn more of the history and heritage of the Orkney islands is http://www.orkneyjar.com/
