SynopsisThis description of the Stone Age settlement preserved in the sand dunes of Scotland's Orkney Islands includes how it was discovered and what it reveals about life in prehistoric times.
This is a wonderful book! It is just a short, quick and easy read, highly loaded with nice photos! I purchased it after visiting Skara Brae a year ago and this book is a great remembrance of being there
