And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Cool video reconstruction of an ancient Pictish fort.
Some interesting history about the castle near this Pictish fort: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnottar_Castle
My paternal grandmother Keith was related to the Marischals of Dunnottar Castle. A branch of her family emigrated from Aberdeen and settled in the Tidewater region in the early 1700s.
Neat.
