Langstane (Orkney)
Date Added: 6th Jan 2018
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Jun 2015. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 5
Langstane (Orkney) submitted by SandyG on 17th Sep 2015. Given its proximity to the road and cottage what are the chances that this stone is prehistoric and if so that it is its original location particularly as it has clearly at some time been broken in half and put back together (3rd June 2015).

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 8th Oct 2015
Skara Brae submitted by SandyG on 8th Oct 2015. The walk from the visitor centre to the site is marked with stones representing special events in history. The first one denotes landing on the moon in 1969. The last time I was at Skara Brae was the day after the landing. So the distance between the wall and the first stone is also the time between my visits. (7th June 2015).
