Skaill House

Skaill House is the fine 17th century mansion overlooking the spectacular Bay of Skaill on the Orkney Islands. Home of William Graham Watt, 7th Laird of Breckness, who unearthed the World famous Neolithic village of Skara Brae in 1850. Today, after careful restoration work, the house is open to the public and entry is included in a joint ticket with Skara Brae, which is just a 200m walk away. Skaill House has been accredited by VisitScotland as a four star visitor attraction. Visitors can experience a family home as it was in the 1950s, and discover the items collected by the family since the 17th Century.
