1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Well-Preserved Iron Age Homes at Broch of Dun Carloway, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland (1st Century BC) 2.. Step back in time and witness the remarkable preservation of Iron Age architecture at Broch of Dun Carloway, located on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. This ancient site, dating back to the 1st Century BC, offers a unique window into the lives of our ancestors during the Iron Age. The broch, a type of dry-stone fortified dwelling, is one of the best-preserved examples of its kind in Scotland. Its thick, circular walls, standing up to 14 meters high, protected its inhabitants from the harsh elements and potential threats. The interiors of these Iron Age houses were designed to accommodate multiple families, with individual living spaces and communal areas. The intricate design of the broch showcases the advanced engineering skills and architectural knowledge of the Iron Age people. The dry-stone construction technique, which required no mortar, demonstrates their mastery of stonework and their ability to create structures that could withstand the test of time. The discovery of artifacts such as pottery, tools, and jewelry within the broch provides valuable insights into the daily lives of the Iron Age community. These findings reveal that the people were skilled craftsmen, farmers, and fishermen who thrived in this remote and rugged landscape. A visit to Broch of Dun Carloway offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Scotland's Iron Age past. The site serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of our ancestors, who built their homes and communities in harmony with the land and the elements. 3.
