The Orkneys appear to have been inhabited and then abandoned a number of times over many thousands of years. When the Vikings arrived, there were people on the islands (the Shetlands, the Orkneys), but the inhabitants appear to have been few, and were wiped out. Even the Pictish placenames, whatever they were, got overwritten by the invaders.

There are two stone circles near Skara Brae, and loads of others all over Scotland.

Hey, I've never been to Spain, and I've never named a bullfrog. :^)

If Doggerland had not drowned, there would of been a good chance that a much larger part of the World would still be speaking Gaelic and playing the bagpipes !

Love that German pipe music.

I found this one off your link, a German symphony orchestra
playing Amazing Grace in concert with the pipes, a wonderful Teutonic version with the penny whistle in lead, with violin played also by the conductor.

Amazing work!

Oh if the Celts could have ruled the world, LOL.

Even Better: German orchestra really hitting the German penny whistle interpretation ( Warning, get out the Kleenex tissue.)

Andre Rieu Amazing Grace

Much of Germany and Austria have very deep Celtic connections.

And it is my hunch that it forms a bond between much of France, Germany,Austraia, England and Ireland.

As the presence of megalithic architecture appears to suggest:

All the way down to Malta:
