Only the foundations of this Dun are visible. However it's still worth a visit just for the view. To get there, you can walk from the road at Kilchrist and down to the clearance village at Boreraig. Alternatively, there is a car park at NG583193, walk from there down the track to Suishnish and then along the coastal path.
