Recent finds have caused some interest on our land.

We believe we have found significant remains of a broch (an iron age drystone structure only found in Scotland), indicators of a number of roundhouses (believed to be 5000+ years old) and a possible burial mound.

Previous finds around Braemore and down the valley to Inverbroom have included 3 steatite bowls near Braemore Junction which were indicators of Viking activity - Ullapool itself derives its name from Norse Ulla-Bolstadr = Ulla's steading.  A Late Bronze Age Bronze sword found at Inverbroom and a decorative bronze pin found near Dun an Ruigh Ruadh (now on display in the Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh) also indicate trade and activity in the area.

Our position puts us on the route that would have undoubtedly been used by any land travellers and the interest in the new sites has been great.

There are plans underway to carryout excavations of the site and we plan on posting news on any finds and developments here.
