		Nestled on the sandy shore of the Bay o Skaill on the western coast of the Orkney mainland is the neolithic village of Skara Brae - one of Orkney's most visited sites and rightly regarded as one of the most remarkable monuments in Britain.
		Because of the protection offered by the sand, the buildings are remarkably well-preserved and in some cases the walls of the huts still stand and alley-ways are still roofed with their original stone slabs.
		It would appear that the last occupants of Skara Brae left the village in a hurry, perhaps fleeing from a storm similar to the one which uncovered the site.
