If you have read my first two books you might recall reading about brochs. They were constructed by the Picts in the Highlands of Scotland about two thousand years ago. To say that they are amazing is an understatement. These structures were built without concrete or cement. They are stacked stones with thick walls that were built most likely for defensive purposes. Although partially in ruin, the main reason for that is that people took them apart to use their stones for other purposes and not because they fell. While I was in Scotland I explored quite a few of these structures and although they seemed similar in construction, their awesomeness continued to inspire me.
