Sightseeing

Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The Dwarfie Stane on Hoy, Orkney Islands, UK is a unique megalithic chambered tomb carved out of a massive block of sandstone. It stands out as the only rock-cut tomb in Orkney and possibly in all of Britain. Legend has it that a dwarf named Trollid lived there, adding a touch of mystery to this ancient site. Visitors can explore the stone's interior passage and side cells, while admiring the Persian inscription left by Captain William Mounsey in the 19th century. This quirky tomb is a must-see for history buffs and curious travelers alike.
