Dun Torcuill
This Dun, indeed it is classified as a broch, is probably amongst the best preserved on Uist, with walls nearly 4m thick and 3m high.
It is a good example of an Iron Age structure that continued to be used into the Medieval period.

Whilst easily visible from the south, it is not easy to access from there because of forestry fences and dykes. The best advice is to approach from the NW and wear wellingtons. More details can be found on Canmore here. |
