Dwarfie Stane


Dwarfie Stane, originally uploaded by British Traveller.

This is a fun little landmark. It's actually a tomb carved right into a solid lump of rock. You can peer right inside. The sign says it dates to 3500-2500 BC. I could believe it took that long to make, too. That's the stone age. There were no metal tools. That means that they carved into a rock using other little bits of rock. Unfortunately there's no corpse there now.

  1. Don't you think that dwarves live there as well as the skeletons like in Warhammer Craig? Asks Thomas.
