Orkney

We headed way up north to Orkney for a weekend with friends.

Ferry coming into Stromness.

Stromness

The island and cottage that we rented for the weekend.

Rod Stewart showed up.

Stone wall

Looking across at Hoy.

Standing stones of Stenness.

The Ring of Brodgar

Thought to be between 4000 and 4500 years old. Originally there were about 60 stones, and 27 are still standing today.

The Old Man of Hoy, taken from the ferry on our way home. He looks a lot like a standing stone.
