Archaeologists Baffled By A 2,000-Year-Old Skeleton Found In Scotland With Its Brain Scooped Out And Its Bones Turned Into Tools
The Iron Age communities of Sutherland and the broader northwest Highlands were builders.
The landscape is dotted with the remains of brochs — the circular stone towers that are one of the most distinctive and architecturally sophisticated forms of Iron Age Scottish architecture.
Brochs are found across the Northern and Western Isles, the mainland north coast, and other parts of northern Scotland, with a concentration in precisely the region where the Loch Borralie cairn is located.
The construction of a broch required substantial social organization.
