Just before the Northlands Viking Centre there is a sign pointing down towards the sea, marked Harbour Broch. Follow the road to the parking area at the bottom. Here you will find a small harbour, a picnic area and a broken down “folly”. The folly was built by local sculpture John Nicolson.
Unfortunately it is not well looked after. However, there is a gate and path to another “folly” also created by John Nicolson. This one is in slightly better condition, but no signs to say what it is.
The good news is, that, behind this – toward the sea, you will just be able to make out a path which has been worn into the long grass – here you will find the real treasure – hidden in the long grass is a broch consisting of three concentric circles – it has been excavated and would be impressive if you could see what it was!
