📌 Isle of Rousay, Orkney Isles
★★★
This large, 5,000-year-old stalled tomb on Rousay is known for its excellent views over Eynhallow Sound, and is reached by a steep path across moorland. It’s also notable for the remains found inside it: numbering 29 different people and 36 red deer. The nearby Taversoe Hotel is probably the best place for a meal on the island, with other options near the ferry terminal.
