  4. The #Pentland Firth is the stretch of water that separates the north of #Scotland from #Orkney.

    It is a temperamental passage of water.

    Proper archaeologists believe that #Neolithic people migrated to Orkney, across the Firth in boats, to live in #skarabrae and the #NessOfBrodgar.

    I'm not a proper archaeologist!
