Skitten Broch

Skitten Broch was an Iron Age broch located between the villages of Killimster and North Killimster in Caithness, Scotland (grid reference ND32345655).

[1] The RAF Skitten base was built on the remains of Skitten Broch.

Skitten broch was destroyed in the 1940s[2] during the building of the nearby Killimster aerodrome, from which Operation Freshman departed.

Sir Francis Tress Barry partially excavated Skitten broch in 1904.

Ahead of its destruction in 1940, a second excavation was carried out by Charles S. T. Calder in 1940.
