Our conversation takes us through lunar alignments, and the ritualistic functions of Neolithic monuments, but also into his innovative approach to longstanding archaeological debates, particularly focusing on the controversial “leyline” maps of Harry Bell.</p>
<p>Dr. Brophy and I first crossed paths in 2002, when he was a burgeoning archaeology student meticulously excavating standing stones in Caithness, a region on Scotland's northeast coast. At the time, I was engaged in field walking, searching for flint arrowheads alongside one of his colleagues. Our shared passion for uncovering the secrets of Scotland’s ancient past set the stage for our deepening exploration of the country’s enigmatic landscapes.</p>
