UK SCOTLAND Jarlshof -- 23 Aug 2011 -- One of the best examples of an Pictish 'wheelhouse' at the Jarlshof site near Sumburgh Head in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. This wheelhouse appears to have been part of a very large and complex Broch and is part of a mixed archaeological site which is thought to cover a period of sporadic habitation from 2500 BC to the 16th Century (the Laird's House visible as a ruin on the top right of this picture). The site also has Bronze and Iron Age buildings and Viking structures. The Bronze and Iron Age structures appear to be a larger, more complex building which was likely used as a sort of pub of it's day -- Picture by Jonathan Mitchell

UK SCOTLAND Jarlshof -- 23 Aug 2011 -- One of the best examples of a Viking Long House at the Jarlshof site near Sumburgh Head in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. Jarlshof is a complicated site which is thought to cover a period of sporadic habitation from 2500 BC to the 16th Century (the Laird's House visible as a ruin on the top of this picture). The site also has Bronze and Iron Age buildings and also Pictish (top right) and Viking structures (foreground). The Bronze and Iron Age structures appear to be a larger, more complex building which was likely used as a sort of pub of it's day -- Picture by Jonathan Mitchell
