Audio guide Skara Brae in English
In this audio guide, Emily Thompson takes you through Skara Brae telling the story as you walk. In your accent, no need to read signs — just let your eyes take in what's in front of you.
What you'll hear inside Skara Brae:
- 1Stone Dresser (Neolithic Furniture)
A remarkable 5,000-year-old stone dresser built into every Skara Brae home, forming part of a set of 'fitted' stone furnishings that included beds and storage boxes.
- 2Midden Mounds
The midden mounds surrounding Skara Brae are accumulations of organic waste material—ash, shells, bones, stone and household refuse—that have built up over time.
- 3Covered Passageways
The covered passageways are stone-built corridors connecting the ten semi-subterranean dwellings that make up this ancient settlement.
- 4Drainage and Sanitation System
The drainage and sanitation system at Skara Brae is one of the neolithic settlement's most remarkable features.
