Thought this was incredible. Nobody really knows about it so there's nobody there even in peak times. Thought it was mesmerising standing on top of it looking out over the cliffs. Sadly it's in very poor condition but they can't fund the upkeep of every site. Short walk from the Yesnaby stop point, so definitely recommended. It's very small through, and most of it's overgrown so don't expect anything near what you'd find in Gurness, otherwise it'll be very underwhelming. I just found it amazing to stand and imagine having lived there in the side of the cliff.

I parked up at Yesnaby and walked north over the headland. Once I got to the bay I struggled to see the Broch at first as it is built beautifully onto the clifftop. The Broch walls remain to about 3m. Stunning location and definitely worth a visit. You will find some finds from here in the Kirkwall museum.

An excellent walk along some of Orkney's Jurassic Coast with stunning views & on a clear day you can see the Sutherlandshire Hills along with Caithness on mainland Scotland
