Mine Howe panoramic VR gallery

Inside one of the houses at Skara Brae, a 5,000-year-old settlement on the north west coast
of Orkney. The settlement was revealed earlier this century when a huge storm stripped away
the sand that had covered it. The ancient houses that were uncovered offer a unique insight
to the lives of ordinary people from so long ago.
Note the double-shelved stone 'dresser' that faces the door, the stone bed space on the floor and alcove alongside.
