Skara Brae Prehistoric Village
Fantastic. Amazing to think this is over 5,000 years old, pre dating Stonehenge and the pyramids. The recreated building is interesting. The actual site is wonderful, seeing what is there and thinking what it was like. Skaill House was also interesting. Great location overlooking the beach.

Interesting site but crowded with coach loads of tourists. Outdoor so expect to get wet. Gives an amazing insight into prehistoric times

Marvellous and wonderful ancient village preserved for 1000s of years by the encroaching dunes. Fantastic visitor centre helps understand how the village and people survived and flourished in this tough environment. The village itself is small but very interesting and I'm sure it was comfortable at its height. Allow approx. 45 minutes to view everything at a comfortable pace. Cafe and toilets available Parking also available.

A wonderful glimpse into the distant past. Really interesting and managed by friendly, helpful staff. English Heritage membership gives a discount in Historic Scotland sites. Advisable to book in advance.

Pretty impressive preservation of the site which is understandably protected but you can still see everything and get close. The visitor centre has some excellent staff and there is a family farm house on site too.

Such an amazing place, highly recommended! Stepping back in times to see how people lived 5000 years ago, we had a dry day, and walked around the place 3 times to absorb the whole place. Totally amazing!

Amazing prehistoric village. The seaview is a breathtaking. Amazing five thousand years ago this was the way how they lived. You got to see to believe it.
