Bryn Celli Ddu is a remarkable Neolithic passage grave built some 5,000 years ago to align with midsummer sunrise.
The rising sun on the longest day of the year lights up the inner burial chamber, where a stone pillar keeps watch from the shadows.

Any vids on how they manhandled those big boulders?
Is this a similar style to Maeshowe (sp.)?
Going into Maeshowe was a privilege: in fact visiting all of Orkney's sites. The idea of the Ness of Brodgar being a huge cultural centre seems incredible
