Have you been to Orkney? What was your favourite site?

Other than your comprehensive list above, the Brough of Birsay and the Broch of Gurness. Hope to get over to Rousay next trip.

Hello John, Rousay is on my list for my next trip to Orkney, I am sure I visited the Brough of Birsay and the Broch of Gurness on my first visit to Orkney.

I couldn't get to Maes Howe because it was closed, but I highly recommend Taversoe Tuik chambered cairn on Rousay. You can see in from the outside even when it's locked up

I have been to Orkney and loved it. Spent the afternoon at Brodgar as well. It's an amazing place. The ancient sites I've managed to get to make me realize how much we've lost. Though we as modern man feel accomplished in technology, we've lost the sense of community and humility. These links to the past draw us because the future has become bleak.

Cheers for this my brother, the ancient sites of our wonderful islands makes me wonder how many sites there must of been on the main land and probably destroyed over the years. Your work is amazing and can only wish you will inspire the future lads and lassys to remember oor roots! Tapadh Leat Bràthair, Alba Gu Brath!

You did well to get to the Ring of Bookan. I was scared of the cows who ran along beside me as I walked along the road. I was glad of the fence. Also, as you say, it's private land. Heigho, another time. My favourite site is the Ring o Brodgar in the early hours, with the oyster catchers and curlew.

Brookan was my favorite and the Barnhouse landscape a very close second. I was born a Brooks, so that’s how Brookan took the lead. Again thank you for bringing me right into the landscape with you.😊

@BeforeCaledonia 2 жыл бұрын

I have been to the Ring of Bookan a few times, not many tourists go there. Barnhouse would have been like Skara Brae in its day. Best wishes from Scotland, Martin.

Although the Ring of Brodgar originally had 60 stones, placed at approximately 3° distance from each other, only 27 remain today. The North causeway is double the width of the South one...

I visited in 2004, going back this August 2022. My favorite site is Skara Brae, but also love the Broch of Gurness, and Maes Howe. I am really hoping to be able to see the excavations at the Ness of Brodgar.

@BeforeCaledonia 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Colleen, that is great you are revisiting Orkney. Unfortunately I was unable to do Maes Howe justice in this video because I only had a few exterior shots, photography and filming is not allowed inside. I have also visited Skara Brae and the Broch of Gurness, Martin.
