Broomhill training trenches is a First World War military earthwork located approximately 100 metres west-north-west of Breezy Brae in Ross-shire, Scotland. The site consists of trench systems constructed for infantry training purposes during the period of the First World War. Such training trenches were commonly established away from the front line to prepare troops for trench warfare conditions they would encounter in France and Belgium. The earthworks survive as distinctive linear features in the landscape and represent an important aspect of Britain's home front military infrastructure during the 1914–1918 conflict.
