Between the Wind and the Water: World Heritage Orkney by Caroline Wickham-Jones
Requirements: PDF Reader, 95.3MB
Overview: The Archaeological sites of Orkney give us an unparalleled glimpse into prehistory. Inscribed as the ‘Heart of Neolithic Orkney’ World Heritage Site in 1999, four great monuments – the village of Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, the Stones of Stenness and the burial mound of Maeshowe – are also at the center of the archipelago’s story. This book looks at what makes these monuments so special. Caroline Wickham-Jones explores the Neolithic world in which they were built, how they came to be a focus through the ages, and what they mean today. Picts, saints, Vikings, antiquarians and tourists populate Orkney’s past: a history which is channeled through these ‘dances of stones’.
