Glaschu visited on 5th Jun 2026 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 Nothing much to add to earlier comments - a short walk but steep in parts. A spectacular site, definitely worth a visit.
Some rocks have recently fallen, I guess we can't stop people climbing on it or doing anything stupid. It is sad to see such a major site with so little protection - so much effort goes in to protecting Victorian country houses but these 2000 year old castles get little.

markj99 visited on 29th Apr 2010 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 4 It is somewhat surprising that there are only 7 visitor logs for this easily accessible ruined broch signed off the A863 at Struan/Struanmore in Skye. There is a designated car park on the roadside. A short path leads up to Dun Beag Broch (Struan). The circular wall of the broch survives up to the ground floor with a well preserved entrance and guard cell on the E Arc. Intramural galleries are located in the SE and NW Arcs. The interior of the broch is featureless save for rocky outcrops on a grassy surface.
