Caithness Broch Project

1/5 HELLO. Some of you might be new here. Where've you been all this time? We're Caithness Broch Project, and we love brochs! What are brochs, though? They're 40ft, multi-floored Iron Age towers, thought to be houses, found only in #Scotland. AND WE WANT TO BUILD ONE!

@Katahdin5270 @TheMousaBoat1 Wah - dunno why that happened. Heres the link! thebrochproject.co.uk/blog/a-visit-t…

A visit to Mousa Broch! Our Chairman Pete took the @TheMousaBoat1 over to the iconic #Mousa Broch in Shetland - and what a sight it was to behold. If you're looking to feel inspired by some broch-tastic archaeology, then read Pete's experience here: thebrochproject.co.uk/.../a-visit-to…

haters will say it's AI #Caithness

Office today a possible broch near Doune!

Surviving stairway from Ousdale Broch in Caithness. Dating to the Iron Age, the broch had been beautifully conserved by the Caithness Broch Project @TheBrochProject 📸 My own. #StairwellSaturday #OusdaleBroch #Prehistory #Caithness

When is a broch not a broch?🤔🧐 A broch blog by young brochateer Evelynn Cook looking at the pratfalls of thinking you've seen a broch when in reality you are just CHASING THE DRAGON. So, here's a few handy hints when you're out and about! thebrochproject.co.uk/blog/when-is-a… #brochs

Over a fifth of the local economy in the north Highlands, and around one in four jobs, are supported by the nuclear industry in Caithness and north Sutherland. The only industry in the last 165 years to reverse post-clearance north Highland population decline.

Castle Sinclair Girnigoe by land. Return visit as such a cool castle. Skylarks & curlew on walk in, fulmars nesting on cliffs and walls, hawk after rock doves, amazing geology and views. Talk of orca both north & south but I've not seen yet sadly. #OrcaWatch #Caithness #RealGOT

All backfilled but here is a summary of our Torwood Broch dig! And an amazing find!

@klondyker @GroatNews @VisitScotland @hiddenscotland_ @NtlMuseumsScot @MuseumWick @HighlandHistory @HughHarrop Were you on the boat with Caithness Seacoast?

Castle Sinclair Girnigoe from sea Build in 1400s (possibly on older fortification), home to Earl of Caithness. Long mixed history with links to the St Clairs/Sinclairs, Rosslyn Chapel, Knights Templar, Orkney, and too much more for a tweet to cover. Cue Game of Thrones music...

Office today Torwood broch…. Central Scotland’s biggest prehistoric building!

Achcomhairle Broch. The field of the council/meeting. Has the distinction of being nearly indistinct from the landscape, it having the impression of a thumb pressed into soft clay.

One way of keeping an eye on the lambing I suppose! #details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">trove.scot/place/8274#det… #standingstone

Scrabster Castle beside #WW2 Pillbox,Caithness (Scotland) It's thought there might be a broch underlying this medieval structure, which is thought to date to at least the 14th C. It may have even featured in the #Orkneyinga Saga! @TheBrochProject info/image turned into a mock-up

Fuck you, @bagpipes.

and then i hit em up with the ol' "you know they pose more questions than answers"
