Skara Brae

Stromness, Orkney, Scotland

Skara Brae is a remarkably preserved Neolithic village on the coast of Orkney, older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids. Uncovered by a storm in 1850, its cluster of stone-built houses — complete with beds, dressers and hearths — offers an extraordinary window into life 5,000 years ago.
