Beach in Orkney Scotland

The islands of Orkney Scotland sprawl across the North Sea, a convoluted combination of low land, beaches, and tidal flats which are in constant flux. The seas between the islands is generally very shallow so that the actual landscape of the Neolithic era may well have been much different, depending on the rapidly rising sea level. For the last five thousand years they have remained in motion, their outlines changing decade by decade.
