I am interested in Scottish pre-history and am especially fascinated by brochs. Brochs are huge stone towers that were built mainly on Orkney and the Western Isles some 2000 years ago. Archaeologists are still not exactly sure who built them and why.
My ancestors, the Morrisons on the Isle of Lewis, back in the 1500s were discovered stealing cattle from a rival clan, the MacAulays. The Morrisons fled and took refuge in Dun Carloway broch. Unfortunately Donald Cam MacAulay managed to scale the outer wall of the broch and threw burning heather down on the Morrisons smoking them out to meet their fate.
