Stenness and Maes Howe from the Unstan
Cairn.
Orkney is such a highly concentrated treasure trove of megalithic
monuments that several are often intervisible from each other. This is the view
ENE
from the Unstan cairn across the Loch of Stenness. The Stones of Stenness are
visible centre left and the huge passage grave of Maes Howe is
the
massive mound centre right. Maes Howe is almost 4km away, so atmospheric
distortion has softened the image.
