📌 South Ronaldsay, Orkney Isles
★★★
🛠️ Attraction expected to be closed throughout 2025 (checked November 2024)
Not to be outdone by the nearby Tomb of the Eagles, part of the Tomb of the Otters (or Banks Chambered Tomb) still contains human remains – a rather chilling experience as you crawl around in the rest of the confined space – as well as liberal quantities of otter spraint. The tomb was only discovered in 2010, and access is by guided tour from Skerries Bistro, which serves classy seafood dishes.
