Guided walk around the cleared townships of Urachoile and Dalvait, Strath Brora (SU)
24 September 2023
Starts: 10:00
Ends: 16:30

The townships of Urachoile and Dalvait, on the S side of the River Brora, were cleared during the latter stages of the notorious Sutherland Clearances in the early 19thC.  However, a much earlier landscape of Bronze/Iron Age hut circles and clearance cairns exists here too. We will examine all of the archaeological remains in the area, spanning c4,000 years. And the scenery in Strath Brora is stunning too!

In the event of bad weather, the walk will take place the following Sunday.  Please phone if in doubt.

Meeting place: Brora Heritage Centre

Suitable for children if accomapnied by an adult
Dogs welcome if on lead
Bring a packed lunch

Level 2 walk - The c4.5km (3 miles) walk is over rough ground, but is suitable for all ages if you have a good level of fitness.  There are no great hills to be tackled, but the walk has a few undulations - but it is not a race and we can take our time.  Good boots a necessity.  Dogs welcome on a lead – but beware there can be adders around.
