Orkneys – Skara Brae and Pict remains

the Orkneys have so many of these Pict structural remains going back as far as 6,000 years ago. It’s a great place to go around by car. Bus travel is a little bit difficult since there aren’t many buses and they are not running frequently. So plan your trip well in advance.

This is the home of the earl or Duke or Lord or marquee or whatever who discovered these Pict ruins.
Elizabeth, the queen mother, visited this home at least one time and even signed the guest book as you can see here
This is one of the ancient bird houses where the shit is used for fertilizer, the eggs and the birds themselves are food. And these birds help keep the insects away from the crops.
