Tour Scotland Photographs Ancient Farmhouse Papa Westray Orkney Islands


Tour Scotland photograph of a neolithic farmhouse at Knap of Howar, on Papa Westray, one of the Orkney Islands, Scotland. This is the oldest preserved house in northern Europe, dating from around 3500 BC. The homestead, which consists of two roughly rectangular stone rooms side by side, linked by an internal door, and with doors to the outside at the west end, is partly subterranean, and virtually complete to roof height.
