Plan your trip to the Orkney Isles with our Official Souvenir Guide Bundle: Orkney, Skara Brae and Maeshowe.

Monuments of Orkney

• Over sixty monuments are detailed in Monuments of Orkney, from the UNESCO World Heritage Site which contains spectacular Neolithic stones, through to Kirkwall’s Viking-built St Magnus Cathedral and the marks left by the Stewart earls of the late middle ages.

Maeshowe and the heart of Neolithic Orkney:

• This official guide talks you through the history of Maeshowe, and much the rest of the island, while maps, illustrations and photographs bring the area to life. The stone circles and monuments are an insight into how people on the island once lived.

  Neolithic Orkney became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. In this extensive souvenir guide, you'll learn more about the villages of Barnhouse and Skara Brae. It also covers the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness.

Skara Brae:

• The area is a Neolithic monument, built in stone. Skara Brae was seemingly abandoned in 2500BC. The guide explores the village's development and occupation. Settlers lived in Skara Brae for close to 400 years, leaving behind vital clues to Neolithic life. Photographs and illustrations accompany the descriptive accounts of the village.
