Nybster

Nybster is situated in Caithness in northern Scotland.

It is the location of the Nybster Broch. A broch is an Iron Age round tower fortification type unique to Scotland. This one was probably built between about 200 BC and 200 AD and re-used during the Pictish period (AD 300 - 800).

The Northlands Viking Centre, nearby, offers an opportunity to explore the Pictish and Viking heritage of Caithness.
