Just been made aware that #StandingStoneSunday is a thing on here, which is nice.

Here’s a photo of Stenness from our amazing trip to #Orkney last year.

@onlyindevon A stunning image! I've been to Orkney. It's a special place and you captured the stones with a unique perspective.

@onlyindevon It just looks unreal, no wonder nature is amazing to look at.

@Hassan Hi Hassan - these aren’t actually natural. They are part of a complex of standing stones and stone circles erected in the area during Neolithic times - no one really knows their purpose. There are sites like this all over Britain but this is one of the oldest.
