A stunning video, based on research by the University of Aberdeen, has revealed what one of the earliest known Pictish forts may have looked like.

Archaeologists investigating a substantially eroded sea stack near the site of the ruined Dunnotar Castle, which itself was a later Pictish power centre, uncovered evidence of a third or fourth century promontory fort.

The new video, funded by Historic Environment Scotland, illustrates how the fort may have looked if the sea stack, called Dunnicaer, was still connected to the mainland.
