Nybster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nybster is situated in Caithness in northern Scotland.
It is the location of the Nybster Broch. A broch is an Iron Age building that is 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, offered an opportunity to explore the Pictish and Viking heritage of Caithness. It is currently being redeveloped as The Caithness Broch Centre.
