| The Broch of Gurness is an Iron Age broch village on the northeast coast of Mainland Orkney in Scotland. The Broch of Gurness is around 2000-years-old and is one of the most fascinating sites to visit in Orkney. Gurness is a substantial broch, measuring around 65ft in diameter. Defended by two rock-cut ditches and a rampart, this was clearly a place of power. |
