"As wood was a much more commonly available material in this region, these were often linked to timber monuments of which only remnants remain." can you reword? "often linked" seems a bit odd in this context.

Done It was a bit confusing and dealt with better in the next few sentences, so I just removed it.--SabreBD (talk) 10:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"There are at least 100 broch sites in Scotland." Some examples?

Done--SabreBD (talk) 10:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"There is evidence for about 1,000 Iron Age hillforts in Scotland, most located below the Clyde-Forth line". -Some of the most notable examples?

Title

An excellent article as always! One query - should the title be Prehistoric or prehistoric? Currently the text uses lowercase, the title uppercase. Andrew Gray (talk) 13:38, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Its a fair point. To be honest I followed the trend of capitalising Medieval and other recognised periods. However, I note that prehistoric is not capitalised on a number of Wikipedia articles. I will take another look at the guidelines.--SabreBD (talk) 17:02, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the others seem to have both capitalised (eg Early Modern Era), which might be why Prehistoric seems odd? Andrew Gray (talk) 19:01, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
