The Old St Peter's Kirk is said to date from circa 1220. most of the town is a planned 19th century development. The town expanded in the 20th century, when Dounreay experimental nuclear power station was built 7km away. As a result, the population of Thurso mushroomed, from 3000 to 9000 inhabitants.
