Scope and Content A general view of White and Brown Caterthun Forts highlighted in low winter sunlight. The White Caterthun is one of the most spectacular forts in Scotland, commanding a wide sweep of country from a low hill on the NW side of Strathmore opposite Brechin. It is an Iron Age fort consisting of a double stone wall, probably timber-laced, with earthen outer defences. The Brown Caterthun Fort is a multi-vallate and probably multi-period hill-fort, unique in that although some smaller and less complex structures in southern Aberdeenshire show comparable features, no close parallel is known. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
