Description by the author

The Orkney Islands are known for their exceptional beauty, but also have a very significant historical relevance. On this island group you will find the best preserved Neolithic village in all of Europe, called Skara Brae, which is very remarkable if the remoteness of this island group is taken into account. In addition, there are also some religious remains, in particular the Ring of Brodgar and the Maes Howe, both of which are certainly worth a visit. The route starts and ends in Kirkwall and takes a day through the many beautiful and breathtaking sights.
