5Skara Brae, Scotland

Eight well-preserved Neolithic stone houses make Skara Brae the most complete Neolithic village in Europe.

This site is much older than Stonehenge, dating from roughly 3,100 B.C.E. to 2,500 B.C.E. Skara Brae is located on the west coast of Mainland, the largest of the Orkney Islands. Its remote and secluded location makes this ancient site all the more fascinating and impressive.
