Overview of your Orkney islands tour:

I will take you to what many would consider the 'must see' of Orkney, this tour travels through 5, 000 years of history and gives you taste of some of the best Orkney has to offer, we will visit the Italian Chapel, Churchill Barriers and Scapa Flow, The Standing Stones of Stenness, a drive past the Ring of Brodgar, plus a quick tour of Skara Brae. I will explain how Scapa Flow, (a natural harbour) UB47 (a submarine) Churchill barriers (a roadway) and the Italian Chapel (built by Italian POW's) are linked in one story, a story that changed the Geography, the Geology, the Economy and Orkney itself forever. We will go to one of my favourite places in Orkney, the Heart of Neolithic Orkney a UNESCO World Heritage site, l will explain what archaeologists think life was like 5, 000 years ago, explore the home of a Neolithic family at Skara Brae, walk, touch and wonder why the stone circles were built.
