August Holiday in Orkney Part 4

On the Wednesday morning we woke to sunshine at Eviedale Campsite, breakfast cooked on the stove then a trip to the Ring of Brodgar which was mega busy with coach loads of tourists. The ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle, generally assumed to have been erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC.
