So you were brung up in Skara Brae???????????????

Is this a ruin, then?

No. It was built in Victorian times to bring in the tourists and deceive the gullible.
;o)

Outstanding shot!

Perfect

It's fascinating! It looks as if they'd done some quite extensive reconstruction though.

What happened is that it was excavated in 1878 by William Copeland Borlase and although he is rightly lauded as opening up the field of Cornish Archaeology, his methods were controversial (even in his day) and he sometimes re-arranged the layout of sites to suit his own pre-conceived notions. This is is one example and it is not now absolutely clear what is original ruin and what is re-construction by him.
