the building of the broch will be as much of an attraction as it as a complete structure. the caithness broch project is currently searching for the ideal site to begin the construction of their brock and they estimate it could be between three and five years before they finally achieve their goal of bringing this enigmatic building back to the scottish countryside. next up, we are off to the azores where new wine routes are being developed across six of the nine major islands following a renaissance in the unique practice of growing grapes across lava fields. we sent kat mo to find out more. there it is. 0na map, pico island is pretty much a dot in the middle of the atlantic ocean. formed 300,000 years ago, it s the youngest volcanic island in the azores archipelago. pico last erupted 300 years ago, and it explains why
dry stone towers of that size, and you especially see it with moosa, it s a difficult endeavour to begin with to build one. the fact that they have lasted as long as they have, the fact that they go through several phases of occupation spanning somewhere around 1,000 years is attractive to a heritage tourist. the caithness broch project is an experimental archaeological initiative aiming to build a full scale broch from scratch using traditional methods. it s a hugely ambitious undertaking as so little is known about these mysterious buildings. i think it s a very adventurous idea to build a broch. it will teach us an incredible amount about how to go about building and dry stone to build a structure so large. and the design of our broch, we ve tried to base it as much as we can on archaeological evidence. i think what we really hope to achieve is a more thorough understanding of brochs, and how they were built might kind of play into ideas of why they were built as well. so as we go t
