The Stones of Stenness, Orkney. Lovely and wonderful and beautiful.

The nearby panel says in 1814 the farmer, tired of having to plough around them, pulled down on stone and destroyed another before he was stopped. The locals weren’t very happy about that. They tried to burn his house down, twice.

Historic Environment Scotland says "The Stones of Stenness may be the earliest henge monument in the British Isles, built about 5,400 years ago. Their function is unclear, but our best guess is that they were involved in activities and ceremonies celebrating the relationship between living and past communities."

monissa,

Behind the Stones is a Neolithic village of about a dozen houses from about 5000 BC.

Discovered in 1984. The walls have been reconstructed to give an idea of the layout of the buildings but it's still rather cool.

The most photographed village in England. This is the row of stone houses from the 17th century, called the Arlington Row in the village if Bibury in the Cotswolds. Thankfully we had good weather on our day trip!
