Maes Howe has been inscribed upon the World Heritage List of the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Inscription on this List confirms the exceptional universal value of a cultural or natural site which deserves protection for the benefit of humanity.



Maes Howe is an exceptionally early architectural masterpiece, expressing the genius of Neolithic peoples. Maes Howe along with three other properties in the care of Historic Scotland at Skara Brae, Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brogar form the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage site. The monuments of Orkney dating back to 3000 to 2000 B.C. are outstanding testimony to the cultural achievements of the Neolithic peoples of northern Europe.
