5.0 out of 5 stars a small but accurate appraisal of the brochs of scotland, 5 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This is a small book that gives both gazeteer information and an accurate depiction of the historical positioning of brochs, their influence and their use. The development from duns, roundhouses and other similar structures is discussed and put into perspective. The lothian and SW scotland connection is also discussed.
This is the best book i have so far found on this subject, i would also recomend the shell guide to archaeology if you can find it.
