Some highlights

- Discover the traditional fiddle tunes and musical heritage of the islands
- Step back in time and visit the superb Neolithic sites of Skara Brae, the chambered cairn at Maes Howe and the standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar. These ancient monuments are some of the best preserved in Europe
