The inhabitants were farmers who cultivated barley...

They brewed beer!

Simon Schama's TV series on "Britain" has great video of Skara Brae. It sure looks cold there!

In Origin's Ultima series of computer games, Skara Brae was the town of spirituality.

Would the local people have been "Picts" or not?

There's something odd about this pic...

Perhaps it's just my imagination.

My wife & I spent several weeks in Scotland some years ago and visited Skara Brae. It was very interesting but the Ring o' Brodgar was unreal. Talk about primative! The ring is found in the Mainland parish of Stenness. Walking around these huge standing stones was awesome.

We hope to return to Scotland for another visit in the next few years. It was great fun, with wonderful people there.
