Skara Brae is a super cool prehistoric village in Scotland that dates back to around 3180 BC. It's like the Scottish Pompeii because it's so well preserved. The village has ten stone houses with beds, cupboards, and even a primitive sewer system! People think about 50 folks lived there at a time, chilling by the hearth and probably munching on seafood. The place was abandoned around 2500 BC, maybe due to a big storm or just because the weather got colder and wetter. But hey, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site now, so you can check it out and imagine what life was like way back when!
