The journey begins in western Scotland, at Dun Telve, with one of the best preserved brochs in Scotland. Filled with iconic, structural features, the remains epitomise the skill of the prehistoric architects who constructed this building more than 2 millenia ago. Next, Tristan heads to Caithness, a region of Scotland renowned as the beating heart of brochs because of the sheer quantity of these ancient towers found here. With help from Iain Maclean of the Caithness Broch Project, Tristan learns how these towers were constructed using Iron Age tools.
