Absolutely - definitely the gem of the Caithness brochs.
As yet the site is not signposted from the road, so probably has few visitors.
I had the site all to myself and didn't meet anyone either coming or going along the track during my visit.

With the no hair could be me, but my nose isn't that bashed :-) Every intention of going back there tho, Les's pics are brilliant and looks like, as in the Assynt people at Clachtoll, they've done a superb job. Lego treatment soon :-) drewbhoy Posted by drewbhoy
