A collection of mini stone houses on the beach by Skara Brae. Was this a school project?

Comments:
Don't think the plural form dioramae is right, it's from Greek, not Latin, but coined in 19th century in France, so the plural, as for panorama, should be dioramas.

It was tourists that had been to Skara Brae that had came down to the beach and built it, and also a few people on the beach built some of them.
