Office today Torwood broch and some vegetarian clearance!

FFS.

“A short, turbulent crossing carries the traveller from the rough terrain of Sutherland…”

This is Caithness erasure.

What does this mean for hearths in 'new build' brochs? 😱🤔

But not your last?

BTW Orkney Archaeology...

Sheesh, if ever there was a crappy broch - it's Stemster Broch!

Sadly, by the 1960's it had a great big silage pit dug into it. As you can imagine, silage pits are not conducive to 2,000 year old buildings, so it's not looking its best.

Still a broch though, innit.

In 2023, a search for the remains of a “lost” tower led to the discovery of a complex multi-period building once used by the people of Caithness 🔍

From 14 April, join the team near Thrumster as they continue their investigation (no experience required): digitscotland.com/events/thrumst…

Can we help get this tip shifted?

The other BIG STORY from yesterday...

#JohnOGroatsTrail

😔 DISAPPOINTING FUNDING NEWS 😔

In 2023 we embarked on our biggest project to date with an extensive trial trenching project.

Unfortunately, despite the immense fun we had making all those holes, we just didn't quite have the funding to backfill them.

OOPS SORRY ABOUT THAT

An exciting discovery from Scotland - this 1800-year-old slice of pizza was recently unearthed in the ruins of a broch. The dish was introduced to the region c. AD 83 by the Romans. Fragments of oil jars found nearby suggest that the Picts deep fried rather than baked their pizza

Calling all #Highlands Businesses!

Scratching your head when someone asks what there is to do in #Caithness ?

Just foist one of these on 'em, and let our peculiar map do the talking.

If you want some, let us know!

🌾 Thatch so Fetch! 🌾

Great to see traditional #thatching being undertaken in #Caithness , at Mary Ann's Cottage.

This is a skill most likely used by our broch-builders, 2,000 years ago.

You're seeing history 'being made' here!
