Mais Howl: A Neolithic Tomb in Orkney
Mais Howl in Orkney is one of the great wonders of the Neolithic world. To enter the tomb you have to crouch and make your way through roughly a 10 meter long passageway that's covered on either side by large stone slabs. In each of the four corners of the central chamber you'll also notice an upright standing stone or monolith. Not far away from Maesau across the loch of Harry you have another iconic megalithic monument from Stone Age Aukli. The largest stone circle in Scotland this is the Ring of Brodga.
