You're standing at the Stones of Stenness, on a narrow headland between two lochs on Mainland, the largest of the Orkney islands. Take a good look at the stones. They're thin slabs, barely thirty centimetres thick, with sharply angled tops. The tallest is about five metres high. They've been standing here for more than five thousand years.
