Don’t let the blue skies fool you – it was wild and windy when the students – both undergraduates and postgraduates – arrived for a tour of the Stones of Stenness and Barnhouse Neolithic settlement.

From there it was on to Skara Brae, before finishing at the north end of the Bay of Skaill to see the effects of coastal erosion on archaeology up close.
