Book Description
James Farrer's book was the first report to describe what was at the time a brand new discovery: Incsriptions carved into the Neolithic chambered cairn, Maes Howe, in the Orkney Islands. What makes these carvings so fascinating is that they were not carved by the original builders, but by Viking settlers many centuries later. The cairn was subsequently buried for many centuries more until its discovery in the 19th century. Imagine the surprise of investigators to find Viking graffiti in a Neolithic chamber!This book describes both Maes Howe, with beautiful illustrations of the chambers, and the runic inscriptions. Also included are translations of the runes by the leading Norse scholars of the day.

Book Description
New Edition, Large Print, 17 point fontEARLY in the month of July 1861 I was enabled, by the kind permission of my friend David Balfour, Esq. of Balfour and Trenaby, to put in execution a scheme long contemplated, but from various circumstances unavoidably delayed, the excavation of some of the great tumuli in the neighbourhood of the Stones of Stennes, or Ring of Brogar. I had in the year 1854 partially explored one of considerable size on the east side of the great circle of stones, which stands on the west shore of the Loch of Harray. No discovery, however, of any importance was then made.Some days were devoted to excavations close to Stennes, to which allusion will afterwards be made, but as several gentlemen of well-known antiquarian reputation from Edinburgh and Aberdeen were expected, and as I was desirous of having the benefit of their experience and advice, I determined at once to commence operations on the great tumulus of Maes-howe, the subject of this notice. My attention had been particularly called to this tumulus by Mr. Balfour, whose decided opinion that a careful examination might result in some important discovery, afforded me great encouragement, as I well knew that he had for many years taken considerable interest in Orkney antiquities, and his opinion that Maes-howe was a sepulchral chamber, appeared to be confirmed by local traditions.
