[MR] BBC: Pictish Fort Found on Sea Stack

That's excellent news, Lord Mungo, and I enjoy the history links you send 
out. Thank you.

It would be that scoundrel Baron Philip who'd appreciate this. I look 
forward with bated breath to the reports on found items. I'd lean more 
towards watch than monastery, but we'll see. The shard pile will tell us. 
You can tell a lot from garbage.

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
