      Set over three floors, the North Coast Visitor Center houses a permanent display of objects to tell the story of the county of Caithness from the geological period known as the Devonian (approximately 416 to 359 million years ago) to the present.

      A notable exhibition is in the Stones Room of locally excavated Pictish artefacts.

        A top-notch exhibition on the area's past, from archaeological finds to the nearby former experimental reactor, whose control room is preserved there. Admission is free, donations welcome.
