In Focus
Dun Troddan
stands a little up the northern slope of the side of Gleann Beag,
about two miles along a minor single track road which leaves the
coast south of Glenelg. It is the second of the "Glenelg
Brochs", twinned with Dun Telve, a third of a mile to
its west. Dun Troddan is fine example
of a broch, one of around five hundred to be found across mainly the
north and west of Scotland. Brochs were built in the last centuries
BC and the first centuries AD. ( More

Featured Book
Thicker Than Water by Ken Lussey (15 September 2024).
A compelling murder mystery set in northern Scotland. Callum Anderson and Jenny Mackay are spending Hogmanay at Sarclet Castle in Caithness
when they are asked to investigate the brutal murder of a young woman at nearby Sarclet Broch in 1943, a woman whose ghost is believed to haunt
the castle. What seems the coldest of cold cases is not the first murder of a young woman at the broch. Nor is it the last.
On the day that Callum and Jenny arrive, there is a third fatal stabbing there.
