A fantastic talk tonight from Kenneth McElroy, he told us all about Brochs and the exciting project to build our very own Broch in Caithness. I am sure everyone enjoyed the presentation, it was informative, interesting and entertaining! Thank you to everyone who attended, we hope you will come back for our other activities throughout the summer.

We had a lovely visit from the Dunbeath School Nursery class today. They had fun finding the animals on the Museum Hunt, then spent some time colouring. What a fine job they did too!
