My dad and I are from Seattle, and we visited Scotland last year. I knew I wanted to visit Skara Brae, so we included Orkney in our trip and stayed in Stromness. I love this pair of photos you have here, because it shows how the inhabitants of Skara Brae built their structures by stacking those flat stones, and how, thousands of years later, the inhabitants of Stromness used those same flat stones in the same way to build their homes and piers.
Scotland is a wonderful place, and Orkney is a magical little island. Cheers!
