Dark secrets

Dark secrets - The Ring of Brodgar stands dramatically silhouetted at dusk against an intense sky filling with colour, marking the spectacular end to a summer's day at the Heart of Neolithic Orkney.

Witnessing sunset, or sunrise, at the ring is an incredible otherworldly experience; being in the company of these ancient relics of the Neolithic past is not only memorable, but a real privilege too.

One cannot fail to wonder at what history and mysterious secrets this ancient landscape holds and of the stories of the countless generations before us that have passed through this remote and remarkable location.
