'Through the Haar' is part of the series A Year in Scotland. This is the July episode.

In this story, I take you with me on the ferry from Tingwall to Rousay, the fifth largest island in Orkney! We start with a mystical journey through thick morning fog called haar, before picking up bike and exploring the island. We visit several Neolithic chambered cairns and a Bronze Age broch. Along the way, I tell you about the history of this beautiful island and its neighbours.
