Dun Nosebridge

Dun Nosebridge is an Iron Age fort southeast of Bridgend, Islay, Scotland. The fort is located on the right bank of the River Laggan.[1]

Looking south west from Dun Nosebridge.

The name's origin is probably a mixture of Scottish Gaelic and Old Norse: Dun in the former language means "fort" and knaus-borg in the latter means "fort on the crag". Another possibility is the Norse hnaus-bog meaning "turf fort".[2]

gollark: `shell.allow_startup` wouldn't apply to them, for instance.
gollark: Anyway, I think there wouldn't be any *security* downsides to having CC boot custom BIOS files now, although maybe some usability ones?
