Scotland's crannogs are older than Stonehenge

Crannogs were fortified settlements constructed on artificial islands in lochs.

It was thought they were first built in the Iron Age, a period that began around 800 BC.

But four Western Isles sites have been radiocarbon dated to about 3640-3360 BC in the Neolithic period - before the erection of Stonehenge's stone circle...

Another famous Neolithic site is Skara Brae, a village in Orkney inhabited between 3200 BC and 2200 BC...

They said it was possible other Scottish crannogs, and similar sites in Ireland, were also Neolithic.

Previously it was thought crannogs were built and re-used over a period of 2,500 years from the Iron Age to the post-medieval period.

Thanks for posting. Found this fascinating.

Watched Outlander series—thot the stones were fictional, but now I am guessing they were based on some of the locations on Orkney Island.

Have wanted to visit Scotland Highlands, now may add Orkney Island to list.

I always look forward to your posts. Thanks.

Scotland is a settlement of the Hebrew tribe of Dan, so it is not surprising that the most acient paganism is found there.

Depends on which pyramids!

The “Great Pyramid,” and the Sphinx are definitely pre-flood structures

They did at Caer Crannog. right before they were attacked by a rabbit.
