The only other town of any significance in Orkney is Stromness. With it’s old harbour front and half cobbled main street it is altogether a nicer place than Kirkwall, However…….it looks like it it is still stuck in the 50’s and in need of a sympathetic makeover (!)
Well one of the town planner’s had a sense of humour anyway…..
After Stromness we visited the stone circle at Brodgar. The circle is very large although the stones are much smaller than say..Stonehenge.
Interesting ‘vandalism’ on one of the standing stones from the 1800’s! (note the care with which some of the engraving was carved out)
