Broch, Glenelg, Inverness-shire |
Brochs
were a uniquely Scottish solution to the problem of defending people
and property against raiders. They were built between 200 BC and AD
400 and consisted of two stone walls, one inside the other, with wooden
bracing between them.
A broch sited beside a settlement could house livestock when a threat
appeared. Food may have been kept in brochs so that they could withstand
a short siege, but without a water supply they could only have held
out for a few days. |
