Jarlshof – Viking Settlement in the Shetlands

Fascinating to go around this fabulous site. So many different layers from Neolithic to a few centuries ago.

This part reminded me of Scara Brae.

The Orkneys – Scara Brae – a Neolithic Village

A storm exposed the Neolithic village of Scara Brae. It is the most perfect Neolithic village ever discovered. Walking around it one can imagine the life of the people who inhabited these houses. Their lives were simpler than ours yet quite sophisticated.

They lived off this landscape – grew their crops, gathered, hunted and fished. These were the people who created the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness.
