What does Broch Tuarach mean?
Broch Tuarach, also known as Lallybroch, is the home of Jamie Fraser. It is situated between Fraser and Mackenize land, as Jamie's mother was a Mackenzie. Broch Tuarach means "north-facing tower" in Gaelic. Lallybroch, a nickname for the home, means "lazy tower." Claire wonders how a tower faces north. Jamie's answer is the cylindrical tower has a door that faces north, and the tower is slightly north-leaning.
