A £60,000 research project is to be undertaken to create a ‘Neolithic Landscapes of the Dead’ chambered tomb trail in Orkney.
The initiative aims to connect historic monuments across the North Isles, some of which are currently rarely visited.
In 1999, a number of sites and monuments on Orkney’s Mainland were awarded World Heritage Site status, including Skara Brae.
This listing has raised the archaeological profile of Mainland Orkney and resulted in an increase in tourism.
