Megaliths
Megaliths - Two of the megaliths forming the Ring of Brodgar under a dramatic summer sky of cirrus cloud.
These are two of the remaining 27 stones from the original 60 vertical or standing stones of the ring, constructed circa 2500 BC. Situated on an isthmus between the Lochs of Stenness and Harray, close to the Standing Stones of Stenness, the Ring of Brodgar is a potent symbol of the Neolithic influence left on the islands and now represents an icon of Orkney. The ring is the 3rd largest in the British Isles being of diameter 104 metres or 125 megalithic yards and is the most northernmost henge circle in Britain.
