A new year-long archaeology festival aims to uncover new information about Iron Age brochs and also encourage greater public awareness of them.

Be nice if they could include Caisteal Grugaig, near Letterfearn, at the "neck" of Loch Duich. Fabulous setting and inadequately researched.
Hi tomatoman, you may be interested in this brilliant video vimeo.com/17634384 posted on this site a couple of months ago by brochbagger.
That triangular lintel is superb isn't it? I've read there are a couple of brochs in Sutherland which also have the same feature.
Great site.
Thanks for that, E D. I had no idea this kind of work had been done. We were based in Ratagan for a week and I remember the first time scrambling up from Totaig and seeing the lintel, face-to-face. It was a clear indication that I wanted to spend time there, examining the surviving features and taking in the tremendous setting.
This is the cracker .

That is a cracker. Out of the way too.
I particularly enjoyed greywethers fieldnotes!
