Noble Friends, Especially Fellow Scots,

Today the BBC is reporting the discovery of a Pictish fort on top of a 
sea stack off the Aberdeenshire coast: 
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-32325310 
. Why the Picts would put a fort there is interesting. Maybe a watch 
tower of some sort? Seems to me it might actually be a monastic retreat 
like those on the small islands near Lindesfarne.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
