Traprain Law, a whaleback volcanic lump rising to 724ft in East Lothian. It was occupied from the Bronze Age and is said to have been home to King Loth of the Gododdin, who gave Lothian its name. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/eastlinton/traprainlaw/index.html
Here is my latest video. Created with many thanks to Cathy McIver, the project manager at Stroanfreggan Dig. Also thanks to AOC Archaeology Group, who Cathy works for, and Carsphairn Heritage Initiative.
Thanks to Jo at the CatStrand too for putting me in touch with Cathy.
The dig was funded by Historic Environment Scotland and Carsphairn Renewable Energy Fund.

Checked that the wonky hawthorn tree was still standing on our walk at the hillfort earlier.
It was.
28/09/2025 - Evening walk up Tap o' Noth in Aberdeenshire. We had tea near the top. Dark on the way down. Starting to get chilly on the hills now.
