This area is one of the most interesting ones in Europe. Follow the narrow road southwards, and you'll pass loads of Stone Age monuments : first there's a site that is still under excavation, then standing stones, Barnhouse village, Stones of Stenness and Maes Howe. They are all on UNESCOs list of World Heritage Sites, along with Skara Brae, which is situated only 10 km away.
