Caithness Broch Centre
The Caithness Broch Centre is home to an ambitious and innovative display that presents a new story of the prehistory of the north coast of Caithness during the time of the brochs.
It has three main narratives: the 19th century community who first excavated the brochs; the community who lived in the area two thousand years ago; and the community who now work and live with the brochs.
The project is a collaboration with the National Museums of Scotland who have loaned a large number of artefacts for display the centre.
It is a joint venture between Caithness Archaeological Trust and The Highland Council and has been generously funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Highland Leader, Heritage Lottery and Highland 2007.
