Description
The ancient standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar in the Orkney Islands off the north coast of Scotland, in the evening just at sunset. This monument in the heart of the Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site is believed to have been built between 4000 and 4500 years ago. Originally built with sixty stones in a circle over 100 metres (over 100 yards) across, fewer than half of the stones still stand. The tallest of the stones is a little over 4.5 metres (15 feet) tall.
