The Caithness Broch (CBP) project are fundraising for the purchase of 200 acres of land and aiming for a target of 2027. The land, currently owned by George and Ian Sinclair, use will have to be de-crofted and the target date for a building warrant is 2027.
CBP are working in partnership with the Flow Country (Flows to the Future) and envisage the Broch to be the eastern gateway to the Flow Country with information and an archaeological exhibition and nature exhibition. The broch would be manned at all times. Other stakeholders would be Forse House, Latheron, Lybster and Clyth Community Development trust and Rumster Outdoor Centre.
Other brochs in the area are Rangag, Golsary and Rumster. CBP envisage a path encompassing these sites with pointers off the path to other places of archaeological interest. The path should be suitable for walking and cycling and, possibly, skegway. CBP are interested in arranging an archaeologic dig at Rumster Broch. The broch is not on our land but if it brings attention to and use of our site, we would be very supportive of the activity.
