	Bay of Skaill, Mainland, Orkney
		The Bay of Skaill is situated on the west coast of the Orkney Mainland 4 miles south west of Dounby.
		To the south of the bay lies the neolithic village of Skara Brae which was rediscovered after a storm in the winter of 1850.
		As well as the havoc that it caused the island inhabitants, the storm stripped the grass from the high dunes at the Bay of Skaill and exposed an immense midden mound and the remains of sand-filled ancient dwellings within the mound.

	Skaill House - London City Guide venues & listings
		Situated in the parish of Sandwick overlooking the spectacular Bay of Skaill, the house is surrounded by spacious lawned gardens and stands in a peaceful secluded spot between the Loch of Skaill and the sea.
		The name Skaill is Old Norse for a hall, and most of the farmsteads north and south of the Bay of Skaill have Norse names, suggesting that the area has been farmed continuously for at least one thousand years.
		The southern wing of Skaill House stands on a pre-Norse burial ground, and hill dykes also believed to be pre-Norse still stand five feet high on the cliff tops a mile north and south of the bay.

	Orkneyjar Archaeology News - New dig at site of Skaill Viking Hoard
		The history of human settlement around the Bay o' Skaill is the focus of a new archaeological excavation under way in Sandwick.
		The site of the discovery of the Skaill viking treasure hoard in 1858, the Castle o' Snusgar takes its name from the “remains of a large building” recorded in 1795 and again in 1868.
		But although the mound was the site of the discovery of the Skaill viking treasure hoard, and if tradition is to be believed, a buried treasure belonging to Pirate John Gow, Dr Griffiths thinks it very unlikely his team will find something similar.
