Norman’s Law
This is a well-preserved Iron Age hillfort, which was so much fun to explore. There is a total of 3 walls, each becoming larger in diameter. So this must have been a large and important fort at one point in time. The top and innermost part of the hillfort still has ample remains of the 3 to 4 meters-thick wall that once protected it. This fort is close to Newburgh in Fife and lies along the Fife Coastal Path. For the most part, Fife can be associated with the Pictish tribe of the Venicones, the most likely candidates to have inhabited this fort. From the top you get a great view towards the River Tay and the Scottish Highlands in the North. It’s very likely that on the other side of the river the tribal territory of the Caledonians began. To the North-East you can see Dundee, which coils around Dundee Law, another ancient hillfort.

At the beginning of February we had 3 days of snowfall, which accumulated into at least 1 foot of snow. We struggled to get around with our car, but everything looked magical for a whole while. Then in the middle of February the weather turned mild and the snow started melting. Due to the high level of snow and the fast melt there was more flooding than usual and the River Tay next to the City of Perth, where we live, grew to over twice its size. I also show you the floodgates, which protect Perth, which historically has been flooded multiple times. Enjoy!
Also here is a little side by side comparison of snow vs flood:
