In Focus
About mid way between
Housesteads Roman Fort and
Chesters Roman Fort is a fairly large car park on the
south side of the B6318, the road that follows the line of Hadrian's Wall. This is Brocolitia, also
known as Carrawburgh, and although it is not immediately obvious from the car park, it's a stop

Brocolitia Mithraeum, or

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.
