Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by the Neolithic Standing Stones of Stenness on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to West mainland Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. Dating back to approximately 3100 to 2900 BC, they are widely considered to be the oldest stone circle in the British Isles. It is a key part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO World Heritage Site. A local farmer, Captain W. Mackay, attempted to destroy the stones because he was annoyed by visitors trespassing on his land. He smashed the Odin Stone and toppled others before being legally stopped by local authorities. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
