Skara Brae

Local nameSkara Brae
LocationEdinburgh, UK

Uncovered thanks to strong wind and high tide during a storm in the winter of 1850, this prehistoric village is a great example of a stone-built settlement. Step back 5.000 years and marvel at the best-preserved Neolithic houses in Western Europe. There is a replica of Neolithic house where you can imagine what the life looked like then.
