Celtic Druid history

[WhiteMan]

Thank you After the Rain for your participation and questions. Regards to your Croatia, I am familiar with Croatian history, geography, winter athletics as well as coastal sailing and history, because I love and respect Croatia.

The Broch of Gurness, was a Broch in technical architecture, meaning a thick walled stone tower with a large wooden roof, with living space inside to bring the entire town and livestock into during an invasion or siege. Castles likely developed from Scottish Broch towers.

In regards to clan houses versus temples, archaeologists have found that Celtic megalith temples were used clear up to 500 BC, possibly much later [1]. Since both Celtic Druid religious Stonehenge megaliths were used at 500 BC and Celtic Druid stone walled houses, with both stone slate and wood roofs, e.g. those surrounding the Gurness Broch, at 500 BC as well, it can be assumed that the Celtic Druids at 500 BC both worshiped in stone megalith systems, as well as lived in stone houses.

Again, I appreciate your interest and inquiry. I know there are some of Celtic tartans in Slovenia, and perhaps in the northwest of Croatia as well.

Is the Broch of Gurness actually a castle?
I am not familiar with Celtic megaliths specifically, but the Iron Age ones were more like clan houses — as opposed to the Stone Age ones who were sacred temples.

I thought the Druid class lived in the forest in wooden houses, not in “modern” stone houses like average Celts.

500 BC Celtic Druid castle. This is what the globalist Roman Empire met when they tried to invade Scotland. Gurness broch.
