BULLYING AT WORK

So what are your rights when it comes bullying in the workplace? Is there help and support? And what’s the  difference between a workplace bully and a tough boss?

Our Story

Communities around Scotland tell the stories that matter to them. With Mark Stephen.

Our Story: The Caithness Broch Project

The Caithness Broch Project

BBC Radio Scotland - Our Story, The Caithness Broch Project

Mark Stephen meets the people from the Caithness Broch project.

Mark Stephen meets the people from the Caithness Broch project who are trying to build a replica broch - the first since the Iron Age 2000 years ago. What could it do for Caithness?

Brochs are the mysterious circular tall stone towers of the Iron Age, shaped like dry stane milk bottles. They’re only found in Scotland and more of them are found in Caithness than anywhere else. The Caithness Broch Project wants to build one, in Caithness of course. Mark Stephen meets project founders Iain Maclean and Ken McElroy and their fellow directors and committee members to find out how they’re going about it and the fun and fab things they’re doing along the way. Fundraising with an art auction, building a miniature broch in Lego, minecraft brochs, broch-chocolates (Brocholates), even gin, as well as hands on conserving excavated brochs, telling their story, and making them more accessible to the public. With the Dounreay nuclear plant facing decommissioning and jobs and people draining out of the county, could bringing the past to the future in the shape of a brand new broch on the North Coast 500 be part of the answer?
