In case you were wondering, The Garioch is a place in Aberdeenshire.
The view is dominated by Bennachie, a range of hills reaching 1733 feet.
The best known, Mither Tap, has a vitrefied fort at its summit.
Mither Tap is a tor, composed of a coarse granite and red felspar.
The outermost wall of the fort runs round the bottom of the tor nearly
100ft. below the summit, and is about 15 ft. thick. Inside this, there
is a second concentric wall about halfway up towards the summit.
Yes, me. A potted history, and a few hobbies. This page was prepared for work, so you may like to skip over the technical bits.
Call me naïve, but when I opened my power supply up to clean it, I couldn't believe just how filthy it was!
Alternatively, look at what I expect to find inside my PC. And find out what my best and worst buys were.
| Orkney | The Orkney islands are located off the north coast of Scotland. Some of the nation's most important archaeological remains are to be found here, including Skara Brae, the best preserved Neolithic settlement in Western Europe. Take a look at Orkney through my camera lens. |
| Scotland | Scotland's Prehistoric Monuments page shows photographs of a range of monuments, from standing stones to brochs. The oldest thing you are likely to see is about 6,000 years old, and the newest, about 2,000! |
| Further Reading | As you may have guessed, I really enjoy visiting brochs, cairns, standing stones and other signs of our ancestors' activity. However, there is nothing like a well- researched book to add some background to these beautiful and fascinating sites. |
Paola Arosio maintains this extensive list of archaeological resources;
this is well worth a visit!
