Registration required. There is a shuttle bus service to the burial mound from the Maeshowe Visiting Centre. Guided tour with lots of information.
Inconspicuous from the outside - very impressive and spacious inside!
Inside are, among other things, runes and an image of a lion in the stone - made by a Norwegian Norseman.
