Neolithic Scotland

Neolithic Scotland, around 4000-2500 BC, marks the period when early farmers built villages, practiced agriculture, and crafted tools from stone and other materials. People transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle to settled communities, cultivating crops like wheat and barley and domesticating animals such as cattle and sheep. They built lasting structures like stone houses and famous monuments like Skara Brae and Callanish Stones. This era also saw advances in pottery and the development of social and ceremonial practices. Overall, Neolithic Scotland reflects significant progress in human community life, technology, and their relationship with the environment.
