A new 3d model from Historic Environment Scotland of the Broch of Gurness in Orkney’s West Mainland.
The Iron Age broch was surrounded by a series of small stone dwellings, which were then circled by a band of three ramparts and three ditches. Built around 200-100BC, the broch was abandoned around AD100.
Viewing the model, you will see that the broch was accessed on the eastern side, the houses lining the route to the entrance giving the appearance of a processional path.
