Brochs are the mysterious circular tall stone towers of the Iron Age, shaped like dry stane milk bottles. They鈥檙e only found in Scotland and more of them are found in Caithness than anywhere else. The Caithness Broch Project wants to build one, in Caithness of course. Mark Stephen meets project founders Iain Maclean and Ken McElroy and their fellow directors and committee members to find out how they鈥檙e going about it and the fun and fab things they鈥檙e doing along the way. Fundraising with an art auction, building a miniature broch in Lego, minecraft brochs, broch-chocolates (Brocholates), even gin, as well as hands on conserving excavated brochs, telling their story, and making them more accessible to the public. With the Dounreay nuclear plant facing decommissioning and jobs and people draining out of the county, could bringing the past to the future in the shape of a brand new broch on the North Coast 500 be part of the answer?
