Where the babbling burn "Glazert" winds around a small rise, through the green countryside of East Ayrshire, there is a Place. A place where Celtic men and women defended their homes and families for twenty centuries or more.
Against the painted Picts, the Britons of Strathclyde, the Gaels of Eire, the Angles, the Romans and the Vikings, they stood in this Place, this fort of stone and mud, this insignificant small hill and paid for these lands with sinew and steel and blood!!!
They gave this place a Name, these Celts...
A Name that would be carried by thousands down the Halls of Time....
To Ireland, America , Canada, Australia.
A Name that we know well, for it is ours.
The Place.....
The Name....
