Description

Things Va is a fascinating historical monument in Thurso, Scotland. Dating back to the Iron Age, this stone broch conceals a remarkable history associated with Norse culture.

Its name derives from the Old Norse term 'Þingvellir', meaning 'fields of assembly'. The site probably served the Normans as a meeting point where laws were made and trade was conducted.

Located in a picturesque area near a meandering stream (which, according to Norse mythology, symbolized the boundary between the world of the living and the dead), the 110-foot-diameter broch is an excellent destination for history and archaeology enthusiasts.
