The ancient Scottish city you have tiny window to see before it is buried

Tourists have just a short time to visit an ancient UNESCO World Heritage Site in Scotland before it is buried.

Officials working on the research project commented: "At the end of the 2024 dig season, the trenches will be filled in and the site returned to being a green field. That ensures the structures are protected for future generations of archaeologists to continue the work we started undoubtedly using even better scientific techniques than available now.

Among the incredible buildings unearthed was a Neolithic temple, believed to have been built between 3,300 and 3,200 BC. However, scientists concluded that the ancient city was mysteriously abandoned around 3,000 years ago.
