I think the pic. is of the quite recently re-organized Neolithic Gallery in Tankerness House Museum. I wrote about some of what’s there in the middle section of this piece…might be of interest?….. http://www.spanglefish.com/berniesblog/blog.asp?blogid=16784

PS Re. the Tomb of the Eagles, Here’s an extract from my review of the Orkney Archaeology Review…..

http://www.spanglefish.com/berniesblog/blog.asp?blogid=17333

“Steve Sankey explains the plans to re-open the Tomb of the Eagles – aka Isbister Chambered Cairn – aka, to me, the Eagle Cairn rather than ‘tomb’.
……….
Steve tells of a plan to build a replica tomb to make the interior of the cairn accessible to those unable to enter it. This has been done with a house at Skara Brae and is A GOOD THING!
I’ll be interested to see if this plan comes to fruition as I, personally, would no longer be able to scuttle along the entrance passage as I used to!
A replica can’t give the feel of the place, but can reproduce and present the factual archaeology.”
