Orkney (RIAS Illustrated Architectural Guides to Scotland)

Description:

From Neolithic stone circles through a twelfth century cathedral founded by Vikings to a chapel built by Italian Prisoners in WWII; from north-west Europe's oldest dwelling to one of Scotland's finest Renaissance palaces; from the brochs of the Iron Age to 19th and 20th century fortifications around Scapa Flow: this is the built memory of Orkney's long and varied history.
