The Ring of Brodgar, a Neolithic stone circle thought to have been constructed between 2000-2500 BC, stands on the Orkney Islands, nestled between Loch Harray and Loch Stenness. This ancient site, even older than Stonehenge, features twenty surviving stones out of the original sixty, creating a circle with a diameter of 340 feet (104 meters), making it the third-largest stone circle in Britain. Visitors can walk among the tall green grass and purple heather, experiencing the serene and mystical atmosphere that has endured for millennia.
