Skara Brae (Orkney Islands, Scotland) 3000 BCE

(Reader Contribution to 10 Most Amazing Lost Cities)


A neolithic settlement on a fairly remote island north of Great Britain. It is amazingly well preserved for such an old village, though some of it may have been washed away already by the encroaching tides and harsh winds of the north Atlantic Ocean.
