Dun Garsin
Dun Garsin submitted by hamilton : Dun Garsin occupied the summit of the imposing bastion of Knock Garsin. Sadly, all that remains is this grassy saucer-shaped depression, lined by scattered remnants of walling. Centuries ago, the stonework was heavily robbed to build the field dykes in the vicinity. But the site is well worth visiting as it provides breath-taking views over Loch Bracadale. (Vote or comment on this photo)
