Day Two

Tuesday, May 27

Today we managed to get out much earlier, but SNAFUS with the notebook computer

meant that we lost most of another sunny morning. However, we got to the Ring

of Brodgar stone circle around mid afternoon, and below are just a small sample

of the photographs taken by the expedition team

Visitors

wanting to find these sites on their own would be wise to get a copy of the

Landranger Map No.6, which shows the locations of most megalithic sites on

the Orkney Islands
