Tulach Buaile a'Chroic Broch View all content for Tulach Buaile a'Chroic

Visited: June 20, 2019 One of a cluster of broch mounds in Westerdale, Caithness, Tulach Buaile a'Chroic though rather bland in itself, stands in an attractive location on the bank of the River Thurso. It has been reduced to a grass-covered mound some 3.5 metres tall, with only the minimalist evidence of masonry. A number of stones protrude from the upper southwest side of the structure, and may be remnants of a foundation course, while there is a small exposure of larger blocks on the northwest flank. Not a broch to rave about, but the ambiance of the setting is undeniable.
