  5. 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!

  9. A replica of the Neolithic carved stone ball unearthed at the Ness of Brodgar in 2013. Some 500 carved stone balls have been found, mostly in Scotland.
    The purpose of these enigmatic and beautiful pieces of Neolithic art is still unknown. This one feels lovely in the hand — and it works rather well as a darning egg.
