There actually is a Skara Brae? I thought that was made up for the Bard’s Tale.

“Long before Stonehenge or even the Egyptian pyramids were built, Skara Brae was a thriving village. Step back 5,000 years in time to explore the best-preserved Neolithic settlement in Western Europe”

And I thought it was an album by an Irish folk group...

[naturalman1975]

The song I sing
Will tell the tale
Of a cold and wintery day.

When evil fled
And brave men bled
The Dark One came to stay.

Of castle walls
And torchlit halls
And a price men had to pay.

Till men of old
For blood and gold
Had rescued Skara Brae!

Besides its appearance in The Bard's Tale (and Bard's Tale III: The Thief of Fate as well), Skara Brae was also used as a name of a town in the Ultima series from Ultima IV: The False Prophet onwards, and is mentioned in the Wizardry games as well.

I played way too many CRPGs in the 1980s (and later too).
