"...however, out of some 100 forts identified throughout the world, more than half are located in Scotland."

I remember first hearing about this a long time ago and the examples given then were pretty much all in the British Isles (thank you for the link, btw). Still, Schoch was talking about glaciers disappearing so rapidly that earthquakes may have occurred - if something happened it must have been over a very wide area.

Was interesting to read about plasma strikes possibly causing the vitrification. The competing theories to date were - intentionally done with the crafty use of fire; or perhaps they were the remains of a nuclear explosion type of event. So far the theory that they were intentionally done by humans to make the fort stones more defensive to attack seems to be the best explanation, but plasma strikes and correlation with very quick and abrupt climate change is interesting.

On the one hand if most of these forts are in Scotland, it could mean the plasma events were more common in that area or that there just was more of these forts in Scotland at the time.

It is also interesting to note that when the Sarmatian Dal Riada clan invaded Ireland, they claimed the Irish natives could control the weather, according to the surviving legends.
