landscapes in Europe. A place of stone circles, villages and burial

their dead. From Maeshowe, built 5000 years ago, to Barnhouse and
Skara Brae villages, The Stones of Stenness and The Ring of Brodgar,
the richness that makes up the Heart of Neolithic Orkney was marked
in 1999, when the monuments managed by Historic Scotland became
