The Enigma of the Dwarfie Stane, Ancient Tomb of Orkney
There is something about Orkney that inspires great mystery in any visitor. It is an ancient place - situated just a “stone’s throw” north of Scotland - and it boasts a rich history that reaches far back in time. One of its ancient relics is the Dwarfie Stane, a rather enigmatic prehistoric tomb that sits in the solitude of Hoy Island. Who carved it, and whose remains rested within it, we do not know. But that enigma just opens a whole world of possibilities, and quickly stirs the imaginative mind.
