Huna House
Huna House is a Victorian building located in the small village of Huna in Canisbay, north of Caithness. Built in 1870 as the Huna Hotel, it is listed as a historic place at Historic Environment Scotland.[1][2] The building was mordernised greatly in 1879. Seven bedrooms were located on the second floor along with one toilet which was supplied from a well in the roof.
In 1935, a Norse boat burial about 200 metres (660 ft) west of Huna House was documented by Curle. There area where the remnants of the boat—timber, chain, rivets, and metal objects—were found is now the site of a building and landscaping. It was found in a mound, about 120 feet (37 m) above the waterline.[3][4][5]
