Barnhouse Village


Low walls of a central building with a larger bank around and stone marked entrance.

Low walls of small round building with chambers/beds visible within.


Barnhouse village is the remains of another neolithic village from around the same time as Skara Brae. However it is less impressive since only the footings of the buildings remain. It is right next to (and shares a car park with) the Stones of Sternness and, to be honest, if we'd been paying more attention we'd have probably visited it at the same time as the stones. However, since we hadn't, it became the next stop on our neolithic road trip.

Last time we were there, we saw some swans on the loch. Nothing odd about that, you might think, except that one of them was black.

Cool! We weren't really focusing on wild life much and don't recall seeing any swans.
