The most northerly island in Orkney, North Ronaldsay is a very low-lying area. Transportation to this island is by flights from Kirkwall on the mainland portion of Orkney to the airport on the island and by a weekly ferry. Since the Orkney ferry only stops there once a week from May to September, the cost of return airfare is amazingly cheap because the government subsidizes it. The history of North Ronaldsay dates back to prehistoric times, as is evidenced by the Iron Age settlement at the Broch of Burrian and was used by the Picts in the 9th century. Archaeological excavations have uncovered the Burrian cross, now well known in jewellery, as well as tools made from bone and stone.
