📌 South Ronaldsay, Orkney Isles
★★★
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.
