I was looking through my guide books last night and I got to thinking......

Skara Brae is an internationaly important site (quite rightly so) yet there is little protection of the site.

When the visitor centre is closed you can walk around yourself.
There is a footpath running alongside the centre or access is easy from the beach.

All it would take is one lunatic with a sledgehammer and untold damage could be caused in no time at all.

Shouldn't these types of site be better protected?

I know you can't protect every standing stone / circle etc but a fragile site like Skara Brae could be easily damaged.
