    Unearthing the Neolithic Past: A Journey to Skara Brae from Kirkwall

    Our voyage took us to the remote and windswept Orkney Islands, where we docked in Kirkwall—gateway to one of the most remarkable prehistoric landscapes in Europe. From here, we set off to explore Skara Brae, a site that offers an extraordinary glimpse into Neolithic life more than 5,000 years ago.

    Before reaching Skara Brae, we made a brief stop at the Stones of Stenness, one of the oldest known stone circles in the British Isles. Erected around 3100 BC, this ancient ceremonial site originally comprised up to thirteen massive sandstone monoliths, of which four remain standing today.
