Stack of Yesnaby Orkney
A wonderful view on the west mainland of Orkney above Stromness
Single Shot Scotland - Yesnaby Castle
On the west coast of Orkney, this impressive feature adds character to the renowned red sandstone cliff scenery. The Yesnaby Castle Sea Stack is often scaled by the experienced climbers but is well worth a visit even to just gaze its sheer size and unique appearance. Located only 12 minutes from Stromness, the stack is a must visit when in the area.
Orkney is overflowing with wildlife, stunning beaches, immaculate scenery and fascinating history to uncover. Made up of around 70 islands north of Scotland, it is home to a unique culture and history with an impressive Viking cathedral, fishing port, its own distillery and much more to explore.

The First Stonehenge on Scotland's Orkney Islands
Join me as I take a 3-site tour of Orkney's Neolithic sites with Ann, owner of See Orkney tours. I was amazed at their possibility of indoor plumbing 5000 years ago. I stood inside a tomb and heard folklore tales that the locals still hold dear. And I touched one of the ancient stones that predates storied Stonehenge by a thousand years.

Stromness Orkney Islands Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of Stromness, located on the southwestern part of mainland of the Orkney Islands. A long established seaport with the old town clustered along the characterful and winding main street, flanked with houses and shops built from local stone, with narrow lanes and alleys branching off it. There is a ferry link from Stromness to Scrabster on the north coast of mainland Scotland. First recorded as the site of an inn in the 16th century, Stromness became important during the late 17th century, when England was at war with France and shipping was forced to avoid the English Channel. Ships of the Hudson's Bay Company were regular visitors, as were whaling fleets. Large numbers of Orkneymen, many of whom came from the Stromness area, served as traders, explorers and seamen for both. Captain Cook's ships, Discovery and Resolution, called at the town in 1780 on their return voyage from the South Seas where Cook had been killed. The name Stromness comes from the Norse Straumsnes. Straum refers to the strong tides that rip past the Point of Ness through Hoy Sound to the south of the town. Nes means headland. Stromness thus means headland protruding into the tidal stream . In Viking times the anchorage where Stromness now stands was called Hamnavoe, meaning peaceful or safe harbour .

Welcome to our final Orkney Walking Tour. On the Summer solstice we took part in a pagan druidic ritual. Don't worry, no human sacrifices, but it was an interesting and fun event. However, before that I decided to do a walk between three closely placed neolithic sites. Orkney has a ton of these stone age houses and standing stones spread out over the island. This walk starts at the Barnhouse settlement, goes through the Standing Stones of Stenness, then follows a path past the Ness of Brodgar archeological site, and finishes up at the Ring of Brodgar which is the most famous and largest of the sites. Unfortunately, I somehow lost the last 15 minutes of the walks so it ends a bit abruptly but I hope you enjoy it anyway. It was a very windy night but just beautiful. If you ever get a chance to visit Orkney Islands (the islands north of Scotland) definitely take it.
Wikipedia Facts
Barnhouse Settlement -The Neolithic Barnhouse Settlement is sited by the shore of Loch of Harray, Orkney Mainland, Scotland, not far from the Standing Stones of Stenness, about 5 miles north-east of Stromness.
Excavations revealing the base courses of at least 15 houses. The houses have similarities to those of the early phase of the better-known settlement at Skara Brae in that they have central hearths, beds built against the walls and stone dressers, but differ in that the houses seem to have been free-standing. The settlement dates back to circa 3000 BC.
The largest of the original buildings was House 2. It was double-sized, featuring a higher building standard than the other houses and unlike the others (rebuilt up to five times) seems to have remained in use throughout the inhabited period of the settlement. The houses were clustered around a central open area which was divided into areas for making pottery and the working of flint, bones and hides. Evidence suggests that Barnhouse was abandoned around 2600 BC.
Standing Stones of Stenness
The Standing Stones of Stenness is a Neolithic monument five miles northeast of Stromness on the mainland of Orkney, Scotland. This may be the oldest henge site in the British Isles. Various traditions associated with the stones survived into the modern era and they form part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site. They are looked after by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument.
Ring of Brodgar
The Ring of Brodgar (or Brogar, or Ring o' Brodgar) is a Neolithic henge and stone circle in Orkney, Scotland. Most henges do not contain stone circles; Brodgar is a striking exception, ranking with Avebury (and to a lesser extent Stonehenge) among the greatest of such sites. The ring of stones stands on a small isthmus between the Lochs of Stenness and Harray. These are the northernmost examples of circle henges in Britain. Unlike similar structures such as Avebury, there are no obvious stones inside the circle, but since the interior of the circle has never been excavated by archaeologists, the possibility remains that wooden structures, for example, may have been present. The site has resisted attempts at scientific dating and the monument's age remains uncertain. It is generally thought to have been erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC, and was, therefore, the last of the great Neolithic monuments built on the Ness.
The stone circle is 104 metres (341 ft) in diameter, and the third largest in the British Isles. The ring originally comprised up to 60 stones, of which only 27 remained standing at the end of the 20th century. The tallest stones stand at the south and west of the ring, including the so-called Comet Stone to the south-east. The stones are set within a circular ditch up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) deep, 9 metres (30 ft) wide and 380 metres (1,250 ft) in circumference that was carved out of the solid sandstone bedrock by the ancient residents. Technically, this ditch does not constitute a true henge as there is no sign of an encircling bank of earth and rock.

Storm Gertrude hits Orkney
During the high winds of Storm Gertrude, some of our students decided to head out and see what the weather was really like! This video was taken at Yesnaby cliffs, Orkney - but don't worry, the people in the footage are a long way back from the cliff and the winds were blowing them inland. No one was hurt whilst making this video!
