I came to this video after watching a video on Hadrians wall by History channel where one "expert" describe what must have been going through the Barbarians minds when they saw Hadrians wall and thought it must been built by Aliens. There was no one mentioning that these "Barbarians" had been building giant stone buildings for thousands of years.

Good brochs make good neighbors, and good Scottish History videos keep Cumbria and Carlisle safe for another spring. We accept this excellent video in lieu of this year's cattle protection payment.

its an impressive statement of human nature that people can survive and flourish even in some of the more remote and barren land out there.

It took me to about the 3 min mark to realise this wasn't a professional production. That's quite impressive.

I spent a week camping up the west coast of Scotland a few years back. Including a couple of nights on the Isle of Skye. I saw and explored a Brock on the coastline. It was in ruins, only a few feet of stone remained and i didn't really understand what i was looking at. I thought it was a small castle of some kind as the layout confused me. Now i understand what it was...so thank you. Scotland is a deeply mystical and beautiful country.

This was remarkable! I'm going to watch it a second time. Every video you make is fascinating to me, but as I said, this was just remarkable. Thank you for enriching my life with your productions.
