Skara Brae

Skara Brae (p.196)

Skara Brae is a Neolithic settlement located on the largest island of the Orkney archipelago. It consists of the remains of eight clustered houses occupied from 3180 BC to about 2500 BC. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids. It has been called the “Scottish Pompeii” because of its excellent preservation. A severe storm in 1850 hit Scotland and stripped away the soil to uncover the village. (en.m.wikipedia.org).
