Skara Brae, a Stone Village in the Orkney Islands, Scotland
The Neolithic village of Skara Brae lies on the beach of the Bay of Skail.
All the houses are well-built of closely-fitting flat stone slabs. They were set
into large mounds of midden (household refuse) and linked by covered
passageways. Each house comprised a single room with a floor space of
roughly 40sq m. The fitted stone furniture within each room comprised a
dresser, prized objects may have been stored and displayed because there
are two box-beds, a hearth centrally placed and small tanks set into the
floor, perhaps for preparing fish bait.
