[1] The village of Bowermadden consists of two streets: Auchorn Square and Thura place as well as some scattered houses and farms.

Bower is home to the window, door and housebuilding company Norscot Joinery Ltd., located on the main B876 road through the village.

Independent florist Flower Daze, CoCo Chocolatier, and joiner Lee Mackay also operate out of the village.

Bower is also home to the council-run Seater landfill, which was previously open to the public but now only takes commercial waste.

It is one of the more impressive standing stones in Caithness and has mass and size to compare with those of the Ring of Brodgar in Orkney.
