SolarMegalith visited on 17th Jul 2011 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 One of my personal favorites (I have visited it 2 times) - marvelous location and decent condition of the monument.
Around the dun there are remains of a field system (originally surrounded with a bank, now completely mutilated) and significant number of hut circles.
It is not easy to reach Wag of Forse. There is no real footpath leading to it, the best choice is to leave your car near Forse House and reach Usshilly Tulloch broch - from this point you have to head SW.
