Bay of Skaill

It was heavy rain this morning and some thunder. We had coffee & cake at the visitor centre before Sarah & I visited Skara Brae & Skaill House
Skara Brae is the site of a Neolithic village. Archaeologists have dated the village from 5000 years ago. It was first uncovered by a storm in 1850. Skaill House was the home of William Graham Watt, 7th Laird of Breckness, who unearthed the Skara Brae.
Went to the Orkney brewery for lunch. Missed the last tour of the day but enjoyed sampling their product with lunch.
On the way home, we stopped at The Standing Stones Of Stenness. There are only four stones left from the original twelve, laid out in an ellipse about 32 m (105 ft) diameter.Weiterlesen
