Tulach Mor is a Iron Age broch situated on the east bank of the River Thurso in Caithness, northern Scotland. The monument represents the characteristic architectural style of Scottish brochs, circular stone defensive or high-status residential towers that flourished during the Iron Age, particularly in the northern regions of Britain. Like other brochs of this period, Tulach Mor would have comprised a hollow-walled circular structure, a design that demonstrates considerable engineering sophistication. The site's location on the Thurso, a significant river system in Caithness, suggests occupation by communities with access to both riverine resources and strategic territorial positioning during the Iron Age period.
