Dun Nosebridge Fort This large fort was defended by steep cliffs on the south-east side supplemented by ramparts and ditches elsewhere.  It’s still a prominent and fascinating site. The name probably comes from the Norse “Knausborg”, meaning “the fort on the crag” but the site is much older, dating back to the Iron Age. This shot was taken on a dullish April day - I'll just have to go back!

Oddly unparallel lines in the countryside The drystone dyke, ruined farm outbuilding, near and far horizons all form quasi-linear shapes which are not quite parallel, thus giving the viewer a wobbly sense.
