What makes Scapa Tours a unique experience ?
We will stop to take a walk and have photo oppertunites round our earliest stone circle, erected about 5400 years ago. Just north of Standing Stones we have a small neolithic village called Barnhouse, unlike Skara Brae this was only in use for a few centuries dating from 3115BC to 2875BC.
As we continue our descent into our neolithic past we come to our biggest stone circle, The Ring of Brodgar part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. We believe this magnificent stone circle is the last of the great Neolithic Monuments built on the Ness dating back to 2500BC and 2000BC. These are 5000 years older than Stone Henge and Pyramids of Giza.
We will arrive at Skara Brae, our best preserved prehistoric Neolithic settlement in Western Europe. There are 9 surviving houses where you can imagine how life used to be, within these houses you can see where the slept, had their fires and even built in furniture. With your admission ticket you can visit Skaill House a 17th century mansion.
We will take a drive to see spectacular views as well as seeing our sea and bird life at yesnaby, where you can feel like your on the edge of the world.
If your feeling up to it we can take a walk to Yesnaby Castle, a delicate sea stack not far from the car park. The ground may be uneven and can be slippy so please enjoy the views at a safe distance.
We can have a photo oppertunity at Scorradale looking towards Hoy hills, Stromness and views across Scapa Flow.
After a scenic 25 minute drive from Orphir we will embark towards The Italian Chapel which was built out of scrap by the Italian Prisoners of War who also helped to construct the Churchill Barriers in WW2.
