The second picture is of a mountain cluster.

Happy #MothersDay!🌸
What better home for a powerful mother figure than a mountain? According to legend, #Beira — the Cailleach, Queen of Winter — dwells on #BenCruachan, the highest peak in Argyll and Bute.

Image of Hadrian's Wall and the Vallum as described in the post.

Sunset along #HadriansWall 🌅
Built from AD 122, the #Wall and its #Vallum ran almost coast to coast. The Vallum — a deep ditch flanked by banks, 6m wide × 3m deep — marked Rome’s northern military frontier.
Over 1,900 years on, the line of empire still shapes the land.

An #IronAge weaving comb from the Scottish Crannog Centre made of whale bone. The 'teeth' of the comb were used to push the weft (the horizontal threads that run across the width of a woven piece of fabric) to create a tighter weave. #AncientTools #TrimontiumTrust

🛡️ #RomanFortThursday
Ardoch Fort near Braco has some of the best-preserved #Roman earthworks in Britain. Built around AD 80, likely for auxiliary troops (possibly cavalry), it was reused in the Antonine period. Aerial views show its impressive layout!
