Little-Known Orkney Facts You’ll Discover on Our Tours
As part of your journey with us, you’ll uncover fascinating, lesser-known facts. Not only this, but with us you get to experience Orkney as a local. Here are just a few intriguing details we share on our tours:
- Neolithic Astronomy: While sites like Maeshowe and Skara Brae are famous, did you know that many Neolithic structures were aligned with solar events? For example, the Maeshowe chamber lights up with the setting sun during the winter solstice. This highlights the advanced astronomical understanding of ancient Orkney inhabitants.

- Secret Islands: Orkney comprises over 70 islands, yet only 20 are inhabited. We’ll share stories about some uninhabited islands – where ancient ruins and relics can still be found.
