Skara Brae

I have never heard of this place!  I've even been to Scotland, saw Edinburgh Castle and an entirely unsettling stage show in Glasgow, but missed out on St. Andrews and, apparently, a pre-historic village.

Uncovered during a horrible storm in 1850, Skara Brae is all that is left from an ~ 2000 B.C. settlement.  At nearly 5,000 years old, the buildings are older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Egypt. 

I would love to go see it.  Next time I get over the pond!
