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!

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:

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

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.

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...
