Traprain Law. The image shows the view across a cereal field to the rocky and grassy mount of Traprain Law. There's the start of a stone wall and a tree on the left of the frame in the foreground. The scene is mainly in sunlight, with some clouds in the sky.

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: www.undiscoveredscot...

Please forgive me if you've answered this umpteen times already, but could you possibly tell me where these scenic sequences on a #hillfort were filmed, please?

Excavations of the #Brusselstown Ring in the #Wicklow Mountains reveal the #hillfort was the largest nucleated settlement (600+ houses) in prehistoric #Ireland & Britain.
Dating from c.1200 BCE, this challenges the theory that the Vikings built Ireland's first towns.

A panorama of rolling green hills under a brilliant blue sky, under a low winter sun. A gobby black-and-white collie-cross who we all love anyway is in the distant foreground, staring into the camera like the queen she is.

Seeing the old year out in the company of Bonnie and Caer Caradoc - may 2026 bring more of this sort of thing. #HillfortsWednesday #hillfort #Shropshire
