This work is part of the "Exploring Scotland's Heritage" series which provides an introduction to the archaeological heritage of Scotland. Each book tells the story of one part of Scotland, tracing human impressions on the landscape from World War II relics back to the earliest pioneer days of settlement. The details are filled in by a gazetteer of interesting and well-preserved monuments. This volume looks at the archaeological heritage of Orkney, and examines the defences of the last World War back through windmills and water-mills, houses and castles, Viking-age churches and iron-age brochs, to the well-preserved houses and tombs of people who lived more than 5000 years ago.

Scotland is very rich in the remains and evidence of the Vikings. Using all the sources available - historical, archaeological and linguistic - this book explores this heritage and studies, in detail, the story of the Vikings in Scotland, beginning with the situation in Scotland before they arrived and concluding with the longer term effects of Norse settlement.

Viking Scotland

Historic Scotland

Examines the monuments of prehistoric Orkney, spanning a period from the earliest farmers, around 4000 BC, to the Viking onslaught, about AD 800. The quality of the building stone has helped to ensure the survival of these monuments, including: the Neolithic settlements of Skara Brae and Knap of Howar; the early chambered tombs at Midhowe, Maes Howe, Quoyness and Isbister; the stone circle of Stenness; the Ring of Brodgar; and the later brochs at Midhowe and Gurness. Dr Ritchie interprets the findings of the various excavations, showing what the monuments reveal about the way of life in prehistoric Orkney. She uncovers details of the dwellings and everyday life of the early Orcadians; looks at the rituals of life and death; shows the use of art in the settlements and tombs; and discusses the tribal organization involved in both building and ceremonies.
