The Heart of Neolithic Orkney was built 5000 years ago, and represents one of the richest surviving Neolithic landscapes in Western Europe.

The site of patrimony is home to Northern Europe’s best-preserved Neolithic village.

This World Heritage Site is a perfect illustration of the age when people began to build massive ceremonial monuments, proving impressive architectural abilities.

St Kilda is an isolated archipelago of volcanic islands, previously owned by MacLeod's clan, and home to the largest seabird colony in the Atlantic, as well as the largest colony of puffins in Britain.

Overlaying the breathtaking views is an impressive cultural landscape - standing as a testimony to how, even in extreme conditions of stormy weather and isolation, people were able to live for thousands of years just by exploiting nature’s resources.

With a structure predominantly made of turf and wood, the Antonine Wall represented the northernmost border of the Roman Empire and a symbol of power and control.

Its remains are without a doubt the most impressive Roman military monument left in Scotland, and a fascinating World Heritage Site.
