Stines Moss

Stines Moss is an elevated bog in the southwest upland area of the Orkney Mainland, Scotland.

[1] This moss is located a few miles south of very significant Neolithic and Iron Age archaeological sites.

A few miles to the north are the Standing Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar.

[2] About four miles to the northeast is the Iron Age Maes Howe site.

The Burn of Ayreland flows through this moss, and thence proceeds in a northwesterly direction to power the Mill of Ayreland before discharging to the Clestrain Sound.
