So many variations Thomas, which one do you mean. Anyhow it's fascinating how many words in the Scottish dialects come originally from the continent, Swedish, German and French in particular.
Interesting excavations, imagenative narrative. BTW. I also have wandered freely around Stone Henge, many moons ago, before "English Heritage" (so called), surrounded it with a ring of steel and contrarily to the gift to the nation of the Victorian landowner hijacked it made it conditionally available to only those with a pocket full of money and disenfranchised everyone else.
It is sad that the public have to pay to access the monuments that belong to us all. Unfortunately, now that the government have withdrawn 100% of their funding from English Heritage, things are unlikely to get better any time soon.
That's very sad and unjust, indeed. Though it might also protect the site from the disrespectful tourists that draw graffitis or carve onto the stones of the sites....
What in the world would be the reason to put that much work into having a hut on the loch, why would someone build like that, it's not far enough to avoid enemies.
60 meters from shore is quite some way out.... And makes all but the waterborne or determined swimmers (not too many did) and perhaps archers with fire not an immediate threat- and thus escape with all portable goods across the loch or even just to the MIDDLE and wait them out was a viable survival protocol.

@Daniel Strickland A crannog is a free-standing wooden structure, they were built using dozens of support beams, effectively creating an artificial island that extended from shore out into relatively still bodies of water, such as lakes and estuaries, in Bronze and Iron Age Britain.
It is a circular monument with an external bank and internal ditch. That is the archaeological definition of a henge (although because of its small size this would technically be called a hengiform monument or mini henge). Somewhat ironically, by this definition, the most famous 'henge' of all is not actually a henge.

Just saw the title and the screenshot and I'm thinking "Okay...it's a crannog. What's mysterious about that?"
Is there more to this 44 min video, or did I just figure it all out in about 5 seconds?
Please comment if you've watched the entire video to let me know if it's worth the time.
@Daniel Strickland
A crannog is a free-standing wooden structure, they were built using dozens of support beams, effectively creating an artificial island that extended from shore out into relatively still bodies of water, such as lakes and estuaries, in Bronze and Iron Age Britain.
@@josh420masterB Recent evidence from the Outer Hebrides shows that some crannogs date from the Neolithic!
That is one good looking Scot!
Scottish steak and chips, please !
Very interesting
Nice one !
He keeps calling it a henge bc he wants to over sell for tv
Love how the one gentleman even told him to stop calling it a henge.
It is a circular monument with an external bank and internal ditch. That is the archaeological definition of a henge (although because of its small size this would technically be called a hengiform monument or mini henge). Somewhat ironically, by this definition, the most famous 'henge' of all is not actually a henge.
Save your time, they don’t excavate a hut in this one.
