Stones of Stenness - Older than Stonehenge!!

After leaving Skara Brae, we traveled southward to the standing sandstones - Stones of Stenness. It seems that these standing stones have been around longer than Stonehenge. It seems also that Orkney Islands have been inhabited quite a long while and I feel there is much left there to uncover. A great time to be an archaeologist!
