A Orkney angle on Christmas gifts
The Heart of Neolithic Orkney has been a World Heritage Site since 1999. The Stones of Stenness date to around 3100 BC, the Ring of Brodgar was probably built a few centuries later, and Skara Brae was lived in from about 3180 to 2500 BC.
Orkney's long winter nights and northern latitude make it one of the best places in Britain for the aurora, known locally as the 'merry dancers'. For a stargazer, moon-phase decor, zodiac pieces or a star-sign stone suit the long December nights.
Neolithic Orkney inspires spiral and stone-circle designs, rune sets and candles for dark evenings.
The Stones of Stenness once had a holed stone, the Odin Stone, where couples clasped hands through the hole to make vows. A farmer destroyed it in 1814.
