Skara Brae
Date Added: 8th Oct 2015
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 8th Oct 2015
Skara Brae submitted by SandyG on 8th Oct 2015. The walk from the visitor centre to the site is marked with stones representing special events in history. The first one denotes landing on the moon in 1969. The last time I was at Skara Brae was the day after the landing. So the distance between the wall and the first stone is also the time between my visits. (7th June 2015).
