Abstract
A Scottish phenomenon: the broch
Irwin Campbell
1 - 3
Account by a drystone wall master craftsman of the construction, by himself and other drystone wall makers, of part of a broch. The author estimates that it would take twenty-five workers almost a year to build an 8m broch, not including the quarrying and movement of stone and internal timberwork, and would require 2,500 tons of stone.

Mystery of skeletons at Balmerino House
Sue Anderson
12
Excavations at St Mary's Star of the Sea in Leith in 2004, aimed at locating the foundations of Balmerino House (built in 1631 and demolished in the 1970s) revealed medieval deposits into which four inhumation burials had been dug, containing the remains of at least six individuals. All appear to have been adult males, and to have been buried between 1440 and 1660, probably after the mid-sixteenth century. The presence of disarticulated bone suggests the presence of earlier burials in the area.
