If a New York/New Jersey accent doesn’t drive you nuts (”right?”), I heartily endorse this series of 48 lectures.

I would be thrilled to find that beaker pot.

“The remains of Neolithic dwellers are thought to come from a nearby ceremonial complex excavated by Manchester University diggers more than a decade ago, unearthing three concentric rings of timber posts initially spotted through aerial photography.”

Makes me think of ‘Woodhenge’.

Also, I wonder if they will find any indication of Pictish origins?

Makes me wonder what attracted people to settle that far north that long ago when there was land available to the south.

It was the scotch whiskey, I suppose.
