Who hasn’t wondered what life seems to be during the Stone Age? The Flintstones cartoon may be the closest picture we can ever imagine, but a prehistoric village in Orkney Islands, Scotland takes us back to the life 5,000 years ago. The Skara Brae settlement, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best preserved prehistoric houses in Western Europe. It is believed to be older than the Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids.

This Neolithic village has been a growing tourist attraction in Scotland now. There’s a replica house which allows visitors to explore the interior with stone beds and other prehistoric furnishings. Touch-screen technology in the visitor centre also works in the education of visitors about artefacts and archaeological treasures. There is also a cafe and a gift shop for those who want to keep some souvenirs of the place.
