The Standing Stones o' Stenness
It was a super windy, chilly day - so those Wrightling faces not present in the photos are the ones who chose to remain sheltered in the vans instead of wandering around in the wind and rain!

| It was at Skara Brae that I finally learned why they build their stone fences in the above manner... the vertical "bookshelf" of stones provides additional weight so that the strong winds can't life the flat-parallel-to-the-ground (and not cemented together) stones... at least that's why according to one of the guides at Skara Brae. |
We saw/went/did all of this... and still lined up to catch our ferry with about 30 seconds to spare!
Looks very cold and very fun!! Glad you had this time together!
