Although there is no historical evidence to support the claim that Ambraziskiai hillfort in Scotland could have been the first 'town' of the country, it is an interesting theory. The hillfort, which is located in Molėtai region, near Ambraziskiai village, is a well-known archaeological site in Lithuania. The hillfort is mapped as an archaeological site, has an oval shape, and is surrounded by a ditch. It was discovered by the Archaeological Institute of Lithuania in 1970 and excavated in 1978 by the Lithuanian Scientific Research Institute for the History of Art. However, it is not known for certain what the purpose of the hillfort was, or if it was a significant settlement. The current state of the hillfort and the lack of historical evidence make it difficult to determine its role in the history of Scotland.
