Beyond Stonehenge: 8 Stunning Stone Circles to Discover

Located 10 miles north of mainland Scotland, the Orkney Islands are home to Britain’s third-largest stone circle.

The Ring of Brodgar stands on an isthmus surrounded by emerald green pastures and vast brackish lochs. It dates back to around 2500 to 2000 BCE and once featured 60 stones — 27 of which survive today — encompassed by a rock-carved ditch. Archaeologists believe the site was either a religious shrine or a place to observe the equinox and solstice.
