On St. Andrewβs Day, looking back on some amazing memories from the Scotland trip we went on in April; Lapwing at Lochindorb, view at Loch Eil, Slavonian Grebe at Loch Ruthven, view at Lossiemouth, Osprey, Otters on Mull, scurvygrass at Burghead, Dipper, Wheatear on Mull, view on Mull, view at Troup Head and Red Grouse at Lochindorb.
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six!
And with that, Iβm now six-for-six on Burghead Bull Bingo.
Even after the church tried to wipe the practice out, this pagan festival lives on each year in a small Scottish village.
Another tradition for 11th January, which would once have been New Yearβs Day, before the onset of the Gregorian calendar.Β
Duffus Castle by Tom McPherson Via Flickr: The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained. The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.

THE BURGHEAD WELL has presented an unresolved archaeological problem since it was cleared out in 1809. It is not known by whom, when or why this remarkable monument was cut out of the living rock. The ancient work of the Well is all rock-hewn. It consists of a flight of steps leading down to a chamber, within which is sunk a tank fed by springs. The work is unique in Scotland. It may be described as a well, though the monumental character of the work shows that it was not made for the simple purpose of drawing water. Some ceremonial significance, religious or secular, is suggested and it is almost certainly of Dark Age date. Twenty rock-cut steps lead down to a small chamber with rounded corners, measuring 5m by 5m and 4m high. In its centre is a pool surrounded on all sides by a narrow ledge 0.9m wide. The pool is fed by an underground spring and once when emptied took 6 days to refill. Wells and springs were often places for worship and historical sources record that a traditional method of execution among the picts was by drowning. Christians were repelled by such pagan acts, but often traditional holy places were rededicated for new purposes and Columba himself is reported to have sanctified such a well for Christian use. Perhaps the Burghead well later served for baptisms.
Archaeologists say a fire in the 10th century helped preserve artefacts at the site on the Moray coast.
Updating myself on the latest archaeological news in Scotland, hereβs another update on the excavations at the Pictish site in Burghead.
