My Mother was Orcadian and I was born there over 70 years ago , we would play at Skara Brae in the houses they were not like they are now you could run in and out of them, I have two photos of my Mother and her sisters Standing in the houses over 80 years ago, All of Orkney is the most wonderful place we go back most years still have a few lovely cousins there, My husband and I love it.

One of my best friends used to live in Orkney so very fortunate to have visited Scara Brae on a few occasions. Makes you wonder what else lurks beneath our feet as this was only discovered when the top of the sand dunes blew off in a terrible storm.

loved the video up until the end when it went from factual explanation of historical artifacts to ramblings that connected as many ancient civilizations as possible to Britain! Europeans and the British sure love to connect things back to themselves!

I can actually see why Indians don't even want to hear about the Indo-European hypothesis since they think its just another attempt for Europeans to link everything to themselves rather than it being a scientific hypothesis to explain the curious similarities between the cultures, languages, and religions of north and east Europe, India, Greece and various other cultures in between!!!

Scotland is AWESOME. Highly recommend a visit.

Excellent Piece! The natural layered stone in the area created a resource that, combined with their creativity and architectural needs, permitted the construction of a magnificent and durable site. Thank you!

[lotusblossom]

Outstanding video. Loved the music and the historical talk about the place. Well done! 😊

[drips]

Great video. Can't believe i had never heard of this place until half an hour ago!!!

[iainholmes]

Really interesting vid. It is quite an astonishing place. Cheers.

These look incredibly similar in construction to the stone chambers scattered all over the area of New England USA where I’m at. It’s wild

Glad they were conscious enough to have fire exit signs back in the day.

[katetorode]

Ur awesome thank u so much for a real tour been wanting to explore the archeology there for years

[ricktodd]

Another great video Hugh Newman, thank-you.

The ocean would have been miles away when site was in use. Makes sense as people would not build a settlement like this on a coast easily seen by all passing boats.

Also small doors help to keep their sheep etc from entering their abodes. Great video thanks!

What is the style of music played throughout this video? It's mesmerizing. Could anyone point me in the right direction to find more music like this? In particular with the subtle humming in the background.

[ArthurStone]

Thanks Hugh; much appreciate your outstanding work : D

I have been shouting about Orkney as one of the first dots to connect for 15 years. Now in 6 months 2 serious looks at it. At last. Keep digging. I have no ego I just want truth for all who seek it. Way more to Orkney than this one village. Bottle neck chambers tuned to create standing waves of dust that shimmer like 7 ghost sentinels on the mid winter sunrises. Acoustic mastery.

Had a weeks holiday on Orkney on my own, but was never on my own, it was one of the best holidays ever, skara( never seen any daleks) brodgar, stennes, tomb of the eagles, Mae's Howe, a different world from mainland Scotland
You brought back many happy memories with this video Hugh,
P.s the DNA of the paracus long headed Skulls ( the ones with red) hair).
The have sampled the DNA back to scythia, that is where the Scots are supposed to originate from
Through Egypt, Spain, Ireland, then to Orkney?
Reed heid s common in Ireland, here, in the Chinese pyramids, new Zealand
The neolithic people maybe red hair was common?

[mikesemon]

Damn that's old. I sometimes wonder about Doggerland and how fast or slow it fell in the sea and what might be older than this.

Great place, been many times, gets very windy.
