  • The Standing Stones of Stenness is a Neolithic monument on the mainland of Orkney, Scotland. Various traditions associated with the stones survived into the modern era and they form part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site. They are looked after by Historic Scotland.

The archeology dig site at the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney that is revealing a Neolithic sacred site hitherto unknown. The dig is under the direction of Nick Card from ORCA in Orkney. Large structures are coming to light after several years of digging, revealing a 1,000 year history of occupation and development at the transitional period between hunter/gatherer society and the coming of agriculture.

  • 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
