The best preserved prehistoric village in northern Europe, with eight dwellings linked by low alleyways. The beautifully constructed houses have stone beds, dressers, seats and boxes of provisions and a hearth where dried heather, bracken and seaweed was burned.
A replica house has been created next to the site. Many original artefacts found at Skara Brae are on display in the visitor centre.
Café and shop.
