I give my opinion in italic letters:

Can be that impack (Younger Dryas) the cause of the sunami that may be the cause of the increase of sea level? (in my opinion this sunami was the cause of the disappearance of Neolithic places between Scotland's Mainland and Orkney and Stheland.

I agree with you with the cause of the disappearance of land between Mainlnd, Orkney and Shetland. In my opinion, that part of land (what now is the bottom of the North Sea) is full of Neolithic ruins and the buildings we know as Skara Brae are olders than we think know because, if they have been constructed when Orkney and Shetland were communicated by land, using the map of Doogerland you have at the top of this page, it seems to be constructed around 7000 BC.


What do you know about sailing of Neolothic man? Thay had any kind of boats?
About this question, I think that they don't had boats. They communicated with other isles of Orkney (or other archipielagos as Shetland) by foot. I think that using the example of the Egyptians (a little bit later than Neolithic people): they were more and more advanced than Neolithic man (in those time). Comparing the complexity of Egyptian buildings with Orkney's Neolithic buildings and doing the same comparation with boats, I think that Neolithic people hadn't boats, and if they had it, they were very simple.
