The Ring of Brodgar, Orkney

Ring of Brodgar The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle about six miles north-east of Stromness on the Mainland, the largest island in Orkney. It stands on the thin neck of land, the Ness of Brodgar, between the Loch of Stenness and the Loch of Harray, which also contains the Standing Stones of Stenness and a wealth of Neolithic finds, all compressed in these narrow confines. The Ring of Brodgar is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the 'Heart of Neolithic Orkney'. (Read more)
