A stone-built Neolithic settlement, Skara Brae is located in the Orkney archipelago of Scotland. It is the most complete Neolithic village in Europe and its level of detail and preservation attracts visitors from all over the world. UNESCO declared Skara Brae, as well as one of four locations that comprise "The Heart of Neolithic Orkney," a World Heritage Site.

Visitors can explore the ancient site with its excavated structures, including houses that all use the same basic design, with a central fireplace and a large square room. An interesting part of Skara Brae is the stone-built furniture that can be found there, such as dressers, cupboards, seats, and storage boxes.
