Scotch Broch (Applecross, Wester Ross, near Skye, Highlands) | S13E13 | Time Team 

Absolutely fascinating. That was my question when watching: did they finish? I've found pictures on the internet now.. Just wow.. If I could visit anywhere in the world, it would be Scotland. -American with Scottish roots felt deep within my soul

@@tatumsfarm Yes it's finished there's a museum there with all the findings, if you want to find out more about our country check out "Scotland history tours" RU-vid channel it's my favourite and I'm learning things about my own country all the time.

@@RighAlban I will check it out! Thank you! Even if I never get to visit, I love to learn the history of where my ancestors lived before they got here.

Oh what a great share! How Exciting !!!

Fascinating ! Thank you very much for the info! 😀

He’s clearly not.

Somewhat of an intellectual version of Blackadder and Baldrick.

Has FRANCE got a type of "TIME TEAM" because FRANCE has probably got more history than here in the UK???

and then they made sweat love to each other❤

Thank you for sharing a kind story.

Had my first try of bucky last week. Surprisingly moorish. Your scots younguns have it lucky, much nicer than white lightning or lambrini

Your brother is a lucky guy.

Haha nice

lol ... 😁

@@bethbartlett5692 .. and Raksha rofl 😊

Mick only had the one stripey jumper, I’ve come to believe. They should have kept it and framed it.

@@joannamallory2823 After watching Time Team for about 20 years, I've seen generations of jumpers. I can imagine generations of knitters providing MIck with their warmth.

@@joannamallory2823 oh, no, there were several different ones, not just one. Some with wide stripes, some with many narrow ones- it’s fun to spot them all. 🙂

At 40 I also have been since a child. This is an episode that I haven’t seen before. I was camping at ullswater in the lake district a few years ago with my son. When driving home we drove past tony and team filming a scene.

Thats a good addition

New addict here from South Carolina USA 😁 I've been binge watching ❤

@@CaponeCabin (Same here from North Georgia USA 🇺🇸) I wonder if we have a group of archeologists here doing the same thing?

I love how diligent and intense he is. Good kid.

‘Ooh! Aaaah!’

How many _groans_ was that worth?

@@philaypeephilippotter6532 more than one. 😊

@@vbachman6742 Oh yes, definitely more than one!

all my groans are belong to this comment

No doubt taken from the pages of the ecclesiastical mid anglo-saxon jokebook.......volume 3.

Please google the definition of humble and then edit you're comment lol

@@BS-qr5es Drink a little too much from the bottle of snobbery, did you? - Stereotyping a person based on their country of origin instead of their individual character is not only incredibly ignorant and egotistical, but hurtful as well. I pity you.

*its people *your comment

I think Mark Twain said, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco".😉

✌️Just to respectfully counter your comment, the most sunburnt I ever got was on the Isle of Mull west coast Scotland, because there was a light continuous breeze, I didn’t realise I was getting burnt, spent all day down at the beach, it was FAB. Scotland does get great weather sometimes 😉

Scotland...five months of miserable weather and then you get winter....

@@OMGAnotherday The worst burn I have ever had was cloudy day on a beach in Florida. I almost went to the hospital BUT the military frowns on destruction of government property.

@@lizmacrae4970 not true!

@Frank I've set up numerous teepees in my lifetime, and have never seen one that has an inner wall. I have seen ones with a small liner that is tied to the poles along the interior, but that is to keep critters and wind out and not to create an air space for warmth between the outer shell and inner liner since its open at the top and only 3 or 4ft high.

@@jeffburnham6611, I'm just going by the way it was explained on a program I saw. I can't recall if on PBS, History, or Discovery. It made since to me. I'm a retired union bricklayer. It made since to me because I understand the concept of air space as a form of insulation.

They used to call them black houses as everything inside was black with smoke

@@TUSK1157 Sense.

Seems like round , non-corners abodes was a universal northern planet-wide architectural feature.

The best I ever slept in my 63 years was in a tent next to the Gasconade River in southern Missouri in the U.S. I was 13 or so.

Oh listening to the remain is lovely, but I don't think these archaeologists were properly warm and dry for all three days, and there's no place to dry anything when you're in a tent, and if you have to put those wet muddy clothes on next day? Eugh.

@@KAT-ew9wz You stuff the wet muddy clothes into a trash bag and you can get a combination tent heater and boot dryer. They didn't hike to the site so there's no reason they would only have one set of clothes and can't bring proper wet/cold weather camping gear.

Was the background music up in your face and drowning out Tony's voice when originally broadcast or is that a result of some remixing for off-air distribution? It makes it seriously hard for me to follow the dialog at times.

The only refuge now is in the past....

i was thinking the same thing!!

Do you mean obelisk, or something else?

@@maryseman7019 No, I mean the one who carries the menhirs.

Something similar but much larger in Donegal

I grew up on a farm in Virginia. Every field has a pile of stones where the land was cleared when it was settled. Farmers are still adding to those poles today. I have a feeling that type of rock piling happens all over the world wherever there is agriculture.

@@gnarshread Makes you wonder how the stones endlessly replenish themselves in a relatively short period of time.

@@ChrisHyde537 They don't replenish themselves. Farming techniques, specifically in the area of plowing, keep going deeper and deeper into the soil, of course the deeper you go the more rocks you're going to pull up over time. The first few clearings of rocks was sufficient to keep the fields rock free for hundreds of years, then we developed machines that could dig deeper, and more machines that dug deeper still, now we have plow machines that go deeper than the plows of old could ever dream of. I'm not certain if they are going to keep up this trend or not, I do know a lot of areas are starting to ban plowing too deep into the soil, for various reasons, some archaeological, some environmental.

@@Skyfire_The_Goth What you say is correct. However, even without deep plowing rocks replenish because of the freeze-thaw action of frost in the winter. When you hand dig a plot each year you find boulders which definitely weren't there the year before.

@@Skyfire_The_Goth This wry observation has been proffered by farmers who swore that the stones were procreating at night. Deeper plowing is a consideration vis a vis archeology in the US? Can you cite one circumstance in the US where this occurred? You’re referencing the UK where the fields are full of archeology. Environmental reasons? Plows that are more efficient can reach a few feet deeper into the topsoil. How is this less environmentally sound? Who’s banning deeper plowing in the US? Where?

Noice!

In a low house with one wall it makes sense to have the Eames overhang but since the two walls converge at the top of these tall buildings it wouldnt make much sense to have an overhang of roof. In the smaller dwellings they had wooden pósta to hang the tibers for the roof and could overhang them to keep the outer walls dry. In these there would be nó need to bring the roof down low over the entire building. And a slightly overhang would not do anything to keep the outer walls dry. Unless it went half way down the building which would be an enormous overhang. The outer walls already form a sort of roof for themsleves by sloping inwards towards the top. And then like a stack of hay which is conical in shape all you need is a small roof on top and that direct it down. I don't think what we are seeing here is a roof that allows. Rain in between the walls the walls would have cinverged near the top and the roof would have covered the inner wall and possibly used the outer wall edge to rest on. The weight of the roof must be held by uprights ...were the roof to press on the sloped walls rather than the straight inner walls they would press that wall outward with the pressure. So it would make sense within the laws of phsicics to rest the Raftery on thr inner uupright walls not the sloped outer walls. And of course Thatcher is very thick...it has to be put there by a man. Who has to stand somehwere as he Thatches the roof. Or she. As often needs must be the case. So having the outwar wall top to stand on would be handy. I think these drawing show a rsther thin looking Thatcher Thatcher can bé six foot deep. But it would not need any overhang nor would it be nor is it ever sensible to overdo something which adds nó value. Plenty of towers in the world made without overhanging soffits. One of the main reasons they have an overhang in lower cob buildings is be3cause cob gets wearhered. This is made of stone which wont get weathered. Cob and wood also need to be kept dry. This is stone. And theres no way youre going to dry out stone. So there would be nó point to adding a soffit.theres already the sloped wall to take water down and away on the outside and all it needs is a little cap. Not to mention how high up it is to have to deal with an overhang which is fine on ground level. And possibly the wind would not like it. It seems more likely you would want to protect the roof with the wall going above the roof edges than vice Versa. Imo anyway.

cant believe you compared that great man to the old fart Bernie Sanders who in al his years in politics done nothing other than beg for money and lose, you should be ashamed!

@@essexginge9167 you know Aston was an Anarchist, Socialist and Atheist right? If anything at all he probably would have considered Bernie Sanders to be too conservative.

This episode is a cinch to be watched again and again, a sort of broch around the clock!

They are. Look for Tim (director/producer) 's updates. I think there's a patreon you can donate to if you can afford it to help bring it back.

@@Tiger89Lilly Yes! I just joined patreon to support them.

it's a mood

The best bit. I love when Mick asks for cake too! Hes such a lovely!

You can always move to the UK, or several other countries the Romans were mucking about in.

@@sekhmara8590 That's the OP's problem: most likely they think that "freedom" can only be found in 'Murica.

Take midge repellent and a face net, thank me later, I used to live there my father still does.

@@RighAlban Where I grew up, in New Hampshire (just buying Land on a Peninsula not far from Nova Scotia and or New Scotland, with New Ross sitting in the middle of it) the Black Flies as we called them were Bad, some times of year one could have a mini black fog hanging around one's head, with those little buggers biting one alive. However, than one year there really just wasn't... And you didn't have to wear a Head Net or how have you to go outside for x amount of time, specially in my parents yard since half the Land was conservation land, and a Bog which consumed its self to a stagnant stream and a tiny swamp, and my Yard was up there with some of the worse areas, although any where in town could get you a little black fog of flies biting you! But like I said, they were just gone, for over a decade at least, just Gone, whole lot of them! Not sure what happened! Yellow Jackets to a whole slew of things seem to have gone with them...

I Immedaitely Started Remembering this, and Immedaitely looked for my comment, surprised it's been 2 Years!!!

It was a joke.

@@philaypeephilippotter6532 what was a joke?

@@zillaquazar *Scotch Broch.* It was just a play on words - the episode was originally called *Scotch Broth.* They knew it was a _broch._
