Whitegate Broch is a prehistoric circular stone tower located in Caithness in the far north of Scotland. The monument dates to the Iron Age, a period when broch construction was prevalent in northern Britain, typically between the 2nd century BC and the 1st century AD. The structure represents the characteristic architectural form of a broch, featuring a hollow-walled circular tower that would have served defensive and domestic purposes for the local population. Like many brochs in the region, Whitegate Broch provides evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and architectural sophistication in the Scottish Highlands.
