| Shetland is extremely rich in physical remains of the prehistoric eras and there are over 5,000 archaeological sites all told. ( population of 10,000 humans at the time across Shetland had been proposed). The huge pile of stones on the summit (seen from below) is a Neolithic chambered oval cairn -some 60feet long - Carnmore states that in 1963 it appeared untouched (not opened) but now has a trig pillar plonked on top of it. So beneath the summit may yet lie the remains of humans form 4000 yrs ago -presumably some of those who lived below (just a stone's throw away) in one of the oval houses -at the noted neolithic farm settlement of Scord of Brouster. Hard to imagine all this day to day living activity in such an isolated spot 4,000 years ago. It must have had advantages - climate warmer, fishing, farming. | Chris Pearson | 21/04/2021 |
