Nice walk to broch. Bit tricky to find but once you spot a path the rest is easy. Worth seeing in you are on the way

This looks like it would be a great broch to visit with a lovely walk down to it. We travelled up to see it and stopped at a few lay-bies but couldn't find the path to it. A sign on the A9 would have helped. I couldn't get any reception to look at a satellite map so we just visited badbea village and another, different abandoned house and stopped off at Cairn Liath broch on the way back which was very nice.

Beautiful example of a Scottish broch, one of the best preserved ones I've seen, recently been stabilised to prevent further decay. Has a nice new path with benches and information signs on the surrounding geography and on the broch itself. Well worth a visit.

Parking area safely off the main A9. A well made path leads to the Broch dotted with information boards on the history of this ancient site. Walking with young children was enjoyable but close supervision is required close to the Broch due to a steep drop on one side of the path. Once in the Broch, children can explore easily. The walk took us approx 45mins each way, with rest stops on the benches provided to enjoy spectacular views.

New path from lay-by on A9 (just south of marked lay-by) makes access to the broch a lot easier, though still requires reasonable fitness. Interpretation panels along the path and a couple of benches where you can rest, enjoy the view, or have a picnic. Report any problems to caithnessbrochproject@gmail.com
