Isn't it an old castle or fortification in Scotland?

 

[geitungur akureyrar]

So what would you do with it?

Use the stone to build a house?

 

[geitungur akureyrar]

I have to give that to you OFH. My answer was live in a broch, but if you use the stones to build a house you will live in that as well.

The question is yours.

Where did Watford play their first game on foreign soil?

 

[Bolton's Boots]

Easy question I think. What would you do with a broch? It is not an english word to make things more complicated.

Nobody really knows what they were for - forts, castles, stately homes have all been forward as theories as to what they were built for in the Iron Age. These days, they are generally viewed as shelters for livestock or hill walkers.

The local name for the town of Fraserburgh in NE Scotland is The Broch - leading me to tend towards the livestock theory...

Jersey?

We've had youth teams from Man U, Sporting Lisbon, Porto and a few others in a pre-season tournament which is no longer going but unfortunately, we didn't get to see WFC.

My guess is USA.
