> Did anyone see the prog about the brochs? Can't remember the channel now. Not a bad prog.

"Landscape Mysteries" (BBC2, midnight) - last night's one was called "The Tower People of Shetland".

This has been a really good series. I catch it occasionally, and kick myself when I miss it! I taped it last night cos I was knackered...

Also on BBC2 at 8:30pm was "Talking Landscapes" with Aubrey Manning, where he, according to Radio Times, "explores the Cairngorms in search of the Caledonian forest, and uncovers the Victorian secret at the heart of the Scottish Highlands"... I missed the first half, but joined when he was going on about the proliferation of Bronze Age hut circles et al... Cursed meself for missing the first bit! Gah!

Will watch Landscape Mysteries tonight, I reckon...

Taped both - sounds like we're in for a treat....

On the 'age' of brochs, I'm pretty sure that summat I read when I was first getting into rox n bumps n stuff put them at medieval - no idea what it was tho.

Mebbe that used to be the thinking, but everything I've read since puts 'em earlier.
