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!

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...

Achcomhairle Broch. The field of the council/meeting.
Has the distinction of being nearly indistinct from the landscape, it having the impression of a thumb pressed into soft clay.

POV you're at the broch party and the guy with the crazy stones says "let's do that thing we do with these crazy stones" and then they just go right ahead and do the thing

An amazing document. One of the most amazing aspects is that it argues that the Picts were replaced by invading Scots. We now know this was nonsense and caused by a Viking invasion that destroyed the Pictish state … we then rebranded as Scots!
On this day in history. The Declaration of Arbroath, probably the most important and influential document in Scottish history and considered by UNESCO to be of world significance, was dated 6 April 1320: making it 706 years old today. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/a…
ALT The Declaration of Arbroath. The image shows a replica of the declaration on display in a Perspex box. It is a large single sheet with closely spaced lines of writing at the end furthest from the viewer. At the near end it is cut into multiple vertical strips, each of which has a red or black wax seal on it. AT the bottom of the image is an interpretive panel giving background to the declaration.

Our winning label was won by Gabriel Midgley, an artist and designer based between Yorkshire and Moray.
"The main thing I intended to represent in this design was the way in which brochs were constructed. The dry stone technique makes for a very unique structure!”
