Sallachadh Broch
Sallachadh Broch submitted by cosmic : On the wall. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Broch in Highlands. Situated on the West Side of Loch Shin but even now well above the water level of what is now a reservoir it is difficult to imagine what the surrounding terrain would have looked like before the dam was built. It would certainly command the South end of the Loch.
