Skara Brae in the Orkney Islands

Posted 1 year ago by avatar florance in response to aoife's question: I still don't know if I should include the Orkneys in my itinerary. I need some advice from someone who's been there. Anything worth going there for? (give a different answer) .

How can you come in Britain and not go to Skara Brae? This famous archaeological site is older than the Stonehenge and it's the best preserved prehistoric site in all Northern Europe. You can still see the beds and dressers of the people that lived there 5000 years ago. In the summer you can take a bus (only during the week though) there from Stromness.
