Maeshowe closed to visitors

Historic Environment Scotland says that the Maeshowe Neolithic chambered cairn is now closed to visitors until later this month, due to work taking place at the visitor centre at Tormiston Mill.

A spokesperson for Historic Environment Scotland said: “We are currently carrying out works to insulate the roof space of Tormiston Mill. Whilst the nearby chambered cairn will not be directly affected by these works, the necessary closure of the visitor centre unfortunately means that there will be no access between 7 and 18 March.”
