The village where I grew up in Scotland has a cliff-sided promontory reaching out into the sea called the Green Castle - archaeological digs in the 1970s found remains of iron age and Pictish forts there. One part is eroding away and you can quite clearly see a line of burnt wood particles - one of the theories being that the fort was burned down in a Viking seige: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Castle,_Portknockie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Castle,_Portknockie Edit: There was at least one significant battle between the Scots and Vikings in the area, probably a good bit later: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bauds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bauds Edit2: "Legend has it that within the vicinity, a Scots, a Danish and a Norwegian King are buried" - which is why there is(was?) a Three Kings pub in Cullen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cullen,_Moray https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cullen,_Moray
