Photo by @jimrichardsonng Circling the Broch of Gurness in a small plane flying over Orkney it was easy to see that a whole lot of history had happened here. And with the sea encroaching from the nearby shore the story isn’t over yet. The central tower (broch) was some 30 feet high when built, probably around 200 BC, by an itinerant band of broch-builders plying their business up and down Eynhallow Sound. Soon enough this local “big man” was attracting followers eager to favor his protection by building their houses in the shadow of his. Hardly isolated (Roman amphora were found here) this might have been home to the Orkney King who submitted to Emperor Claudius in 43 AD. Looking down it was also easy for me to see that the North Sea eats at islands relentlessly and that the Broch sorely needs the protection of its sea wall, a modern addition. I love the way Orkney tells its story so freely. Follow me @jimrichardsonng for more Scotland. @ナショナルジオグラフィック @natgeoexpeditions #orkney #scotland #ruins #history
