Keiss Broch submitted by h_fenton on 4th Jul 2011. Keiss Broch, nr Keiss, Caithness.
At the time of my visit in May 2011 this broch looked a right mess full of rubbish plus old lobster pots and fish boxes, although recognisable as an ancient site, it would have been better to have backfilled this site after excavation, If you want to see a decent broch at Keiss walk c.150metres northeast to Whitegate Broch.
