Skara Brae is Europes most complete Neolithic village. The site consists of 10 clustered houses made of flagstones in earthern dams that support the walls. The houses had stone hearths, beds and cupboards. They even had a simple sewer system with "toilets" and drains in each house which carried waste into the ocean. The village was occupied from roughly 3180 BC to 2500 BC.

The village is open to visitors but it is recommended to book for the best price and to guarantee entry. To see prices and opening times visit: historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/skara-brae/prices-and-opening-times
