Drystone Dyking, the craft of building with unmortared stone in the British Isles stretches back at least three and a half millennia, to the village of Skara Brae inthe Orkneys, Celtic cells, and the Iron Age brochs of northern and western Scotland. It is found in Britain as elsewhere where large quantities of rock and stone outcrop, and especially where trees and hedges do not grow easily, from height or climate.This is why dry stone dykes or walls are found above all in northern and western Britain, and often at higher altitudes.
