Construction on the Skara Brae fairgrounds, paid for by Andrew Jollier, has come to a temporary halt while the exhumed remains of what is presumed to be former residents of the area are relocated to the cemetery in Britain.
Mister Jollier had this to say about the unearthed bones. “I was aghast to learn that there had been a cemetery in the area. We’d have chosen another site to build on had we known, but apparently the burial grounds are so old that no one currently living knew about them. A few scholars have offered to look into the history of the area to see if it can be learned who once lived here so that recompense can be made to the families for disturbing their ancestors.”
Construction on the site will resume once all the remains have been dug up and moved to the Britain cemetery.
