We will then leave for Standing Stones of Stenness, our first site in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, which a Unesco World Heritage site. We will pass by the Ness of Brodgar and the Ring of Brodgar before arriving at Skara Brae, a stone built settlement uncovered by a storm. Skara Brae is sited on the ground of Skaill House, the largest manor house in Orkney and you will have an opportunity to see how the Lairds lived and then have some time to visit the shop, café and museum in the visitors centre.
