The #Pentland Firth is the stretch of water that separates the north of #Scotland from #Orkney.
It is a temperamental passage of water.
Proper archaeologists believe that #Neolithic people migrated to Orkney, across the Firth in boats, to live in #skarabrae and the #NessOfBrodgar.
I'm not a proper archaeologist!

At around 4000BC neolithic people migrated from southern Europe to Belgium, bringing sheep, dogs, and pottery, and then onto England, Scotland, Ireland, Shetland, and Orkney. They arrived at Orkney and Shetland in 3500BC. How did they cross the English Channel, the Irish Sea, the Pentland Firth? They must have had boats.

The magnificent Neolithic settlement at Skara Brae in Orkney. Here you find a magical window through which it's possible to see the detail of the day-to-day lives of our ancestors who lived here 5,000 years ago.

NEU IM BLOG von @the8bittheory: Ich war 12, als ich mich mit meiner Party von Abenteurern im verfallenen Skara Brae wiederfand. Völlig auf mich alleine gestellt. In The Bard’s Tale III. :underheart:

Out of a mood I've decided to return to #SkaraBrae after more than three decades, hopefully prepared well enough ...

The title is a little hyperbolic. There's no dark secret, just a cultural practice still prevalent today in some parts of the world, but this is a fascinating glimpse into how humans lived 5,000 years ago.

The beach and seawall at the Bay of Skaill near the Neolithic village of Skara Brae. The seawall was built in the 1920s to protect Skara Brae from coastal erosion. Climate change is increasing the risk that Skara Brae will be destroyed by storms and rising sea levels.
As for the miniature stone circles that someone has arranged on the sand — they'll be gone even sooner!

A quick visit to Skara Brae yesterday afternoon, after completing a bit of research on the other side of Skaill Bay. I was lucky enough to have it all to myself, bar the wonderful staff that it.

Booked some trips in #Scotland for May when we'll be there for a few days; we've only visited once before. Planning to explore #Edinburgh and #Inverness without any firm plans; just see what we like the look of. We were considering #Glasgow but have decided that a trip on the #FalkirkWheel and a nose around #Stirling appeals more. And then we've made sure we're on a tour to see #SkaraBrae, the Ring of Brodgar, and Skaill House on #Orkney.

On this date in 2008 we were on Orkney Mainland (a true non-sequitur), visiting stone circles and other ancient sites. This is a stone house (with stone furniture) at Skara Brae, which has a truly mind-boggling story - https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/skara-brae/history/

Back in #SkaraBrae, still in the sewers. Spiders are everywhere, and the black widows are especially nasty!
