BORDER BROCHS by Dr John Reid
Brochs are iconic Iron Age tower houses generally associated with the far north of Scotland. However, what is less well known is that there is an enigmatic isolated group of these amazing buildings across Lowland Scotland extending into the Borders. What makes them even more interesting is that they mostly appear to undergo ‘deliberate destruction' sometime during the period of the Roman occupation.
What do we really know about the Border brochs and what is behind their mysterious disappearance?
John Reid, Chair of Trimontium Trust, will share images and ideas in a thought-provoking talk.
