The brochs of the Atlantic Scottish Iron Age have long been regarded as the products of invasion from the south. The present paper seeks to review the significance of architectural innovation in the light of recent excavations and the emerging extended chronology. To enable a wider perspective a new terminology is proposed for the structures of the Atlantic Scottish Iron Age. Architectural developments are placed in the context of parallel developments in other spheres of material culture and of non‐architectural settlement change. Regional trajectories of development can be defined and form the basis for a review of interpretations for the period
