Inscribed as the 'Heart of Neolithic  Orkney' World Heritage Site in 1999, four great monuments - the  village of Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, the Stones of  Stenness and the burial mound of Maeshowe - are also at the centre  of the archipelago's story. This book looks at what makes these  monuments so special. Caroline Wickham-Jones explores the  Neolithic world in which they were built, how they caome to be a  focus through the ages, and what they mean today. Picts, saints,  Vikings, antiquarians and tourists populate Orkney's past: a  history which is channelled through these 'dances of stones'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43924723695875,"sku":"9781909686502","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781909686502_500af75c-9ae9-4caf-81aa-2827a7258611.jpg?v=1731421886","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.pro\/products\/9781909686502","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
