Parbroath Castle

Parbroath Castle is a ruined castle which was the former seat of Clan Seton near Parbroath farm, Creich, Fife, Scotland. Only a portion of a vault standing in a field still exists.[1] The building was designated a Category C listed building in 1984.[2]

Etymology

The name Parbroath was first recorded in 1315 as Partebrothoc, and may be of Pictish origin.[3] The first part is *part-, the Pictish equivalent of Welsh parth meaning "side, area, region" (< Latin pars).[3] The second is *Brothoc, a former name for the nearby Fernie Burn, derived from a cognate of Welsh brwd, with the diminutive suffix -awc.[3]

gollark: Something like that might work. I guess that stuff isn't as important/sensitive as my other stuff and doesn't really need encrypting, so I could just sync it across pretty efficiently.
gollark: Though I'm not sure *what* I can do to usefully backup my 50GB of media, which is just archives of TV shows and YouTube channels and whatnot.
gollark: I'm awake then sometimes, but I guess it wouldn't be *too* horrible to do that at 2am?
gollark: Probably, but that would still be two hours a day or week or something of backups tying up the entire internet connection.
