MonissaAnd some photos of the village around the broch.
(I was still holding to the idea that I could just wander around, looking at cool things and not try to put them into any context. Really. So--) I think mostly houses with house things and an occasional kiln or something.
The entrance to the broch and part of the interior.
I don't have many interior photos. I was too busy taking little videos. (If you ever need shaky short videos of a broch, I can help!)
I swapped out the second photo for one from the phone. Lighting is a bit off but it's wider view shows more of the room.
