Description This is part of the Ring of Brodgar.
The Ring Of Brodgar is on the largest of the Orkney islands, Mainland. It was built around 2500 - 2000 BC and is the third largest stone circle in the British Isles. It originally had something in the region of 60 stones. There are fewer than 30 there now. The larger stones are taller than an average person, maybe double the height. This place has World Heritage status as part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney.

A great depiction of a mysterious past, especially with the darkened stones and the clouds over the hills in the distance.

Yes, you are allowed to get close to the Ring of Brodgar, and to the Callanish complex on Lewis.
