Swinside stone circle, also known as Sunkenkirk. Between 5000 and 6000 years old and one of the most complete ‘great stone circles’ still standing in Britain. Only sheep to share it with.

🇬🇧 There is a village in Orkney 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It is OLDER than the PYRAMIDS. Its stone furniture is still standing. A storm gave it back to us in 1850. Its name is Skara Brae. It sits on a curve of beach on Orkney. And it was built 5,000 years ago. By a people who farmed barley, kept cattle, and worked stone with the patience of a craftsman. They had no metal. And yet they built homes that have outlasted every empire since. 🏛️ Each home was made of stone. A hearth at the centre. A bed of stone slabs along each wall. A stone dresser facing the door. A drainage system carrying waste away from the walls. What we would now call indoor plumbing. 5,000 years before it appeared in any English home. Eight homes. Linked by stone passages. They lived there for 600 years. Their children played at the doors. Their dressers carried the best of what they made. The Grooved Ware they fired here would later be found from Orkney to the south coast. Five centuries of one settled people. Then the Earth changed. 🌍 The sand began to drift across the homes. A mother carried her child away from the only home she had known. The dunes closed over the village. In 1850, a storm hit Orkney. The wind stripped the sand from the dunes. And one of the homes appeared again. A village 5,000 years old, sitting in the open as if it had never left. The people of Skara Brae did not vanish. They became Britons. Their descendants became the British. And we are still building our homes around the hearth. Still arranging our shelves to face the door. Still carrying waste away from the walls. 5,000 years on, we are still living the same way they did. 🇬🇧 Civilisation did not come to Britain. Britons were already building it. And building it well. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This village was buried for 4,000 years. We nearly lost their own story. Help us put British history where it cannot be lost again. 👇🙏 👉 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧
