The South Ronaldsay and Burray Development Trust are hoping to achieve a community buy-out of the Tomb of the Eagles and visitor centre. They aim to reopen and restore it as a community hub and tourist attraction. They have set up a crowdfunding page and would appreciate any support.
Orkney Heritage Society are happy to support this project and have donated £500 towards the target.
“The internationally famous Neolithic chambered cairn at Isbister, known as the Tomb of the Eagles, occupies a spectacular clifftop location in the South Parish of South Ronaldsay. The 5,000+ year-old burial tomb is currently in private ownership. For over 20 years it was a successful family-run, and family-friendly, visitor attraction comprising the chambered cairn, scenic walks, a Bronze Age burnt mound, and a visitor centre. The Tomb provided employment opportunities for young people, and established itself as a much-loved and unique part of South Ronaldsay and Orkney’s tourism scene.”
