Possible evidence of Norse parliament site near Thurso
3 October 2017
Possible evidence of a medieval Norse parliament meeting place may have been found at an archaeological site in the Highlands.
A geophysical survey of Thing's Va Broch near Thurso has found "faint features" that may relate to activity associated with the meetings.
The site of an Iron Age broch, a stone-built roundhouse, takes it name from "thing", meaning a Norse meeting place.
