SUMMARY:Investigating Orkney's Submerged Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:– a walk and talk at the Bay of Ireland\, Stenness\, with Dr Scott Timpany. \nOrkney has been described as a “tree-less island”\, however\, in the past there was thriving woodland across the islands. You may be surprised to know that Orkney’s prehistoric woodland (some 6000 years old) can still be visited today. It survives trapped in peat deposits in locations around the coastline of Orkney\, occasionally revealed by the tide as it scours and peels back layers of this peat to expose remains of these remnant woodlands described as submerged forests. On this walk we will visit one of these locations – Bay of Ireland – view the deposits and discuss the lost world of Orkney. \nMeet at Finstown carpark for 2pm.  You will travel to site in the minibus\, with the event due to finish at about 4pm. This is a free event but places are limited so you must book in advance if you want to be taken to site. \nBook via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1994503109491?aff=oddtdtcreator \nYou can make your own way there and park at the Brig O’Waithe\, but parking there is very limited. \nYou will be visiting an intertidal location so we would recommend people wear wellies or stout walking boots; waterproofs should also be brought along. The walk is along a saltmarsh area with lots of little creeks and gullies\, so if you are unstable on your feet etc. then this event may not be for you. Young people U16 are welcome with an adult\, and dogs are also welcome. The walk will be circa 2km. \n

SUMMARY:Immerse yourself in the Neolithic - life\, death\, art and architecture.
DESCRIPTION:A walk with Odile Rouard\, organised by Orkney Time Travel\nAn immersive journey into the Neolithic world. Enjoy a nature walk on Wideford Hill\, just outside Kirkwall\, where sweeping views stretch across the Bay of Firth and the surrounding hills and valleys. Along the way\, your accompanying archaeologist guide will bring the landscape to life\, describing how people lived here five thousand years ago—how they built their homes\, cooked\, farmed\, crafted\, and thrived. \nAt our destination\, you will enter the remarkable Wideford Hill cairn\, a 5\,000‑year‑old Neolithic burial chamber. Inside\, you will explore the contrasts and connections between the architecture of houses for the living and the monumental mounds created for the ancestors. Those with a keen eye may even spot original Neolithic carvings hidden among later Victorian graffiti. \nPlaces are limited and tickets must be booked in advance. \nTo book your place and find out all details\, follow this link Orkney Time Travel Ltd. | Neolithic nature + visit inside burial cairn & stone age art workshop
