Do the walk with the Historic Environment Scotland team. Their ranger (Eileen) made this experience so interesting, sharing such knowledge about Brodgar. We loved it! neenjackson દ્વારા સંપૂર્ણ સમીક્ષા

The views from here are lovely, with spectacular sunset photo opportunities if you are fortunate enough to be here when the weather is good. You can have a wee look at the comet stone while you're he… Islandling દ્વારા સંપૂર્ણ સમીક્ષા

Went here on our scotland trip. Parked a couple of hundred yards away and walked up to the stones. They really are quite amazing to see. Well worth visiting. Johnlobster દ્વારા સંપૂર્ણ સમીક્ષા
Are there any local guides to enhance our visit to Orkney especially the Neolithic areas

Both Maishowe and Skara Brae have either guides (Maishowe)or people at places (Skara Brae). The other sites like the Brochs which are less endowed but with signs and sometimes a visitor’s centre. Most of the well known sites are on Mainland. Maishowe, The Standing Stones of Steness and the Ring of Brodgar are fairly close together. Skara Brae is not too far from these sites traveling north. You might get Caroline Wickham Jones book "Orkney, A Historical Guide" and try getting through that before you go as there are many sites which are not necessarily well noted or signed but pick the curiosity. The book gives a historical narrative through time and belief systems the inhabitants had. If you are interested in more recent history Scapa Flow is where the British fleet were stationed for WWI and WWII and the German Fleet was Scuttled after WWI. Then there is also the Italian Chapel, which was a chapel built by the Italians who were incarcerated there during WWII. There are many modern day sites around on Mainland and other islands related to those epochs. If you are interested in the Geology and Ecology of Northern Scotland you might get "The North Highlands of Scotland Guide Book" by Charles Tait. It helps to explain much about the whole area, Geology, Animal Life and Plantlife. We chose to go in August as the Heather blooms (violet). Earlier the Gorse Blooms Yellow with Orange. There is a lot of Heather around The Ring of Brodgar so it is more photogenic in August. If you are trying to avoid a particularly windy site to stay I'd recommend lower areas more open to the south or east and hills/trees around. Or stay in Kirkwall. If you are camping remember to have bug repellent as the Wee Midges are out. Another island to consider visiting is Rousey which is gotten to by a ferry out of Tingwall House North of Finstown. This island was famous for King Magnus who was a martyr and is the Magnus of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall (another place to visit and a cathedral of a very different design) We also like Scotland in August as the Counties have their Shows as does Orkney. They also have a large tractor show which incorporates old cars as well. People bring their tractors from all around Scotland to show off their equipment. If you would like to see the inside of a cairn on Google Earth go to the Island of Sanday on the end of the point east from Kettletoft there is a red 360 emblem. Click on it and it will bring you into the inside of the Quoyness Chamered Cairn. It was very well done.
HI, we are scheduled to visit the Ring and the Standing Stones of Stenness on a cruise tour the end of August. Our cruise company has notified us we can not get out of the bus to photograph the stones. Is that true for both sites or just the Standing Stones o Stenness? Thank you.

Would have thought this is likely to be down to the discretion of your cruise company and their schedule/rules? It may be best to ask them. When we drove ourselves there we went to both sets of stones in September 2017 and were able to walk around the Ring of Brodgar; through and around Stenness and take photographs at both sites.
Has anyone camped close to it during the Dry season in June? How was the wind, any areas with decent shielding? Any issues while camping?

I can answer this partly. The area is open all around as there are no hills nearby to block the wind and yet the times we have been there it was not windy at all. Which I find odd. The sites may develop up drafts from heat that effectively block the wind, but that may only be temporary during the day. Of course having some wind would be nice to keep the Wee Midges away at night. Although I don't remember having swarms of Midges, which is the only way they come, on the calm days we visited. As far as camping I am unaware of campsites although it would not surprise me, but we don't camp. Good Luck and have fun on Orkney.
How do I get there from Kirkwall( Orkney Islands) using public transportation? How much is the ticket to see the Ring of Brodgar?
