Entering The Tomb of the Eagles
Entering and showing the inside of the Tomb Of The Eagles, South Ronaldsay Orkney.
Tomb of the Eagles
Older than the Pyramids and Stone Henge the Tomb of the Eagles can be found perched above the dramatic South Ronaldsay cliffs. Discovered by chance by local farmer Ronnie Simison in the 1950s, the Stone Age tomb revealed an amazing collection of bones and artefacts, placed here some 5,000 years ago. This is how it looks today in 2013.

Schottland 2019 - Teil 12 von 19: Ausflug in die Jungsteinzeit - VLOG #61
Im 12. Teil unserer Schottland-Videoreihe nehmen wir euch mit auf Erkundungstour von der Hauptinsel Mainland der Orkneys. Wir besuchen die am besten erhaltene, jungsteinzeitliche Siedlung Skara Brae und den beeindruckenden Steinkreis Ring of Brodgar. Danach machen wir einen Abstecher nach Kirkwall, wo wir uns die St. Magnus Cathedral ansehen. Diese ist ganz aus Sandstein gebaut und wurde im 12. Jahrhundert zum Gedenken an St. Magnus geweiht - einem Wikinger, der ein grausames Ende gefunden hat. Zum Schluss fahren wir über die Churchill Barriers an die Südküste von South Ronaldsay und kriechen (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes) in ein jungsteinzeitliches Grab hinein - ins Tomb of the Eagles.
Die Orkneys sind wunderschön und auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

Scapa Flow
Scapa Flow is a body of water in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom, sheltered by the islands of Mainland, Graemsay, Burray, South Ronaldsay and Hoy. The Harbour Authority area of Scapa Flow in Orkney has been measured as part of a wider consultation in ballast water management in 2013, and it has been accurately calculated that Scapa Flow is 324.5 square kilometres in area and that this area contains just under 1 billion cubic metres of water. This statistic makes Scapa Flow the second largest natural harbour in the World after Sydney Harbour, Australia. Scapa Flow is one of Britain's most historic stretches of water - located within the Orkney Islands, off the northeast coast of Scotland. Its sheltered waters have been used by ships since prehistory and it has played an important role in travel, trade and conflict throughout the centuries - especially during both World Wars. It is currently a world famous diving location with the wrecks of the scuttled German Fleet offering unique diving challenges. Scapa Flow is also a major oil port and served the Flotta Oil Terminal and is a prime location of ship-to-ship transfers of crude oil product and liquefied natural gas. The world’s first ship to ship transfer of LNG took place in Scapa Flow in 2007.
