What is recorded here

Castle Bloody stands in Orkney Islands, Scotland, layering an Iron Age broch beneath a medieval castle. The name suggests violence, yet no clear event explains the blood. Perhaps people built on a place where suffering already happened, then repeated the cruelty until the warning became a joke. Stones do not forget the shape of the wound; they invite it back.

Site of Castle Bloody (Iron Age broch / Medieval castle) is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Orkney Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
