From Inverness to Orkney: My Scottish Adventure
My journey from Inverness to Orkney. The final scene takes place at the Brough of Birsay, the epic point at which the Atlantic Ocean on the left (West) meets the North Sea on the right (East). The zigzag line in the center is the road that leads to the island, where the original heart of Norse power once resided. It is only accessible at low tide.
Plan your own tour with Orkney Aspects Tours, led by the brilliant Pat Stone. Such sights can be yours!

Orkney Trip
Here's a 10 min selection of places I visited in the famous Neolithic, Stone Age, prehistoric settlements on the Islands of Orkney off the North Scotland coast.
They still exist primarily because they used stone to build with and not wood as we used in the UK below them. They date from 4500 to 5000 years old & have hardly been worn despite the howling winds you can hear on the videos. My friend, David, was very instrumental in rebuiding & excavating many of the sites you see here such as Skara Brae in the 1970s. Quietest time to visit is from sept to xmas. Most popular is mid-year!
Old Man of Hoy, Scotland
The Old Man of Hoy is a 449-foot (137m) sea stack on the island of Hoy, part of the Orkney archipelago off the north coast of Scotland.
Formed from Old Red Sandstone, it is one of the tallest stacks in Britain. The Old Man is popular with climbers, and was first climbed in 1966.
Standing Stones of Stenness
At the end of a long and very windy day. Not great camera work, but you get the picture. Also includes angles on the hearth, which I did not know was there.
Please view my newest and far more carefully curated videos of Scottish ruins! And subscribe!
Please visit my blog Feel the Stone for more photos, videos and tales of megaliths in England and Scotland, and helpful tips for traveling to the UK to visit them!
Thank you!
