Suggested locations include
- Standing Stones of Stenness - Believed to be the oldest stone circle in the British Isles. Four of the original 12 stones remain, standing up to six metres high, focused on a large hearth in the centre.
- The Ring of Brodgar - An archaeological treasure in the magical landscape that is the Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the most photographed attractions in Orkney.
- Barnhouse Village - This Neolithic village sits in the heart of Neolithic Orkney and helps give great insight into life thousands of years ago.
- Ness of Brodgar - A live archaeological dig site where you can watch workers uncover seemingly endless secrets. Open two months in summer.
- Maeshowe - Enter one of the finest Neolithic buildings in north-west Europe, a masterpiece of ancient engineering.
- Skara Brae - This Neolithic village lies near the dramatic white beach of the Bay of Skaill. Uncovered by a storm in 1850, it presents a remarkable picture of Orkney life 5,000 years ago.
- Churchill Barriers - Born from a time of conflict but now serving as vital links between island communities, these remarkable structures are iconic Orkney landmarks.
- Italian Chapel - One of Orkney’s most-loved attractions, these two Nissen huts were transformed into a beautiful chapel by Italian prisoners of war captured in North Africa and transported to the island.
- St Magnus Cathedral - Known as the ‘Light in the North', this stunning Romanesque cathedral is one of Orkney's most iconic buildings.
- Yesnaby - This wild location offers stunning Atlantic views. Walk to the famous Yesnaby Castle sea stack and spot puffins along the way.
- Brough of Birsay - This tidal island’s causeway is uncovered at low tide, leading visitors to the remains of a Pictish and Norse settlement. It is also great for spotting puffins in spring and summer.
