[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken today at the Dunadd Hill fort in Kilmartin. Below is a potted history.

The ancient king seat of Dunadd - capital of the kingdom of Dalraidia (Dal Riata) - rises out of the barren flatness of Crinan Moss, the raised bog floodplain of the meandering river Add. This rocky outcrop was the power base of the Scotti tribe, who invaded from Ireland in the 8th century AD. The tribe were eventually to give Scotland its name, and evidence suggests a rich cultural heritage of fine craftsmanship and trading throughout Dark Age Europe
in in Argyll Scotland.
