See the history of Caithness come alive at Caithness Horizons in Thurso town hall

In 2008 Caithness Horizons reopened the magnificently restored Thurso Town Hall and Carnegie Library to the public. The museum and community facility has not only captured the past and brought it to life through displays and interpretation, it also provides a real flavour of Caithness today to tempt visitors to find out more about this diverse county.

The facility explores the archaeology and history of the area, the geology and ecology, the wildlife, flowers and fauna, our need for fuel and energy and a sustainable future. The building is also home to tourist information, temporary exhibitions and displays, educational projects, audio-visual presentation facilities and a café.
