Orkney

Motorhome Stopovers in Orkney

Orkney is the Neolithic capital of Europe — Skara Brae is a 5,000-year-old stone village older than both Stonehenge and the Egyptian Pyramids and preserved almost intact under sand dunes for 4,000 years, the Ring of Brodgar stone circle stands on a narrow strip of land between two lochs, and Maeshowe is a chambered cairn into which the midwinter sun shines directly on the winter solstice. Scapa Flow in the south of the archipelago was the main British naval base in both World Wars, and the scuttled German fleet still lies on the seabed.
