The ancient village of Skara Brae (Orkney, Scotland, UK), UNESCO World Heritage site.

 

+++++

Skara Brae was built in two main

phases. Little is known about the

first, since further investigation would

require demolition of the later houses.

 

The building in front of you is one

of the earliest at Skara Brae. It has a

similar plan to the later houses, except

the box beds are built into the wall

rather than projecting into the room.

 

Right: The furniture was made from

local flagstones, which were readily

available and easy to shape.
