  • Orkney farmer Ronald Simison in the Tomb of the Eagles holding one of the skulls he discovered during his excavation of the site.  He discovered the tomb in 1958 and excated it some 20 years later, tired of waiting for the officials to get around to the job.  Now he and his daughters have made a small business of the tomb, operating it as a hands-on museum.  It is on Isbister Farm on South Ronaldsay.  Eagle claws found with the skulls indicated the status of the people burried in the chambered cairn.

  • Sheep and lambs graze by the Standing Stones of Stenness, one of several Orkney stone circles dating from before the time of Christ. The stones are in the protection of the National Trust for Scotland.  The sheep lend a touch of life and continuity to the ancient setting and are often the most memorable sight to the thousands of visitors who come the sight every year.  The Trust feels that the sheep cause no damage and belong in the landscape.  (But they still have a crew mow the grass regularly.)  Orkney, Scotland
