Royal Air Force Airbus A400M Atlas coming in over Kirkwall Airport this evening.

At first it looked like it was lining up to land… then it just kept going.

Click on screen for full screen overview of Skara Brae the Neolithic village uncovered in a storm in November 1850.

The buildings date back to approx 5100 years ago and were built of sandstone. It is believed that the Neolithic inhabitants lived here for approx 800 years continuously.

Best time to visit is autumn and winter when no one is here. If you are visiting Orkney and interested in ancient history then Skara Brae is a must-see.

Thanks for watching and I will be uploading the main video and overview to our YouTube channel.

On Remembrance Sunday we honour all those who lost their lives in the First World War and later conflicts.

The red poppy, inspired by the battlefields of Flanders and John McCrae’s poem, remains our lasting symbol of remembrance.

We remember them with a two-minute silence at 11am.

Lest we forget.
