What does BROGH mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicaldialect
A round, dry-built stone tower from the late Iron Age, also spelled broch or brough.
A brogh is one of the thick-walled defensive towers built without mortar, found chiefly in Scotland, that once sheltered families and their livestock in troubled times. The three spellings brogh, broch and brough all refer to the same kind of structure, and archaeologists studying these sites usually favour broch in modern writing. Many ruined examples still stand along the northern coast today.
