Skara Brae included in new heritage TV series
Story dated: March 16, 2007

Skara Brae has been named as one of the contenders for Britain’s Best – a new television series searching for the nation’s favourite historic site.

The prehistoric village is one of 25 sites across the country chosen to kick off a major event aiming to encourage the public to get involved and visit the heritage sites in their area.

Britain’s Best transmits on UKTV History from April 9th, at 9pm.

Each programme will be themed covering castles, palaces, religious buildings, historic houses and gardens.

Viewers will be able to vote for any of these or nominate and vote for a different site that matters most to them.

During the summer regionally themed programmes will transmit culminating in September, with a final 90 minute programme where Alan Titchmarsh will reveal Britain’s Best historic sites – as voted for by the British public.
