Fickle me, there are two.
First, I wonder what use BROCHS were really created and used for.
Broch: noun
Definition: a prehistoric fortified dwelling in the shape of a circular stone tower, found especially on the islands and northern mainland of Scotland. They were built by the Picts, a Celtic people.
Check out the incredible ruins of the Broch of Gurness...
Hmmm, I just learned something - that brochs were created by the Picts. You don't know this, but I am absolutely FASCINATED by the Picts and I had never heard that before, but that's another post...
Architectural Wonder #2 would be SKARA BRAE on the Orkney coast. You can read all about this ancient neolithic stone village at orkneyjar.com.
