Dun Edinbane is a ruined broch perched above Edinbane, a village 14 miles NW of Portree by the A850. It is around 20 yards across with a jumble of stones 2 yards high in the centre. The outer wall is deliniated by an incomplete circle of large stones. There are extensive views all round from Dun Edinbane, however its elevated position was probably chosen for defensive purposes.
Canmore ID 11145, which names the broch as Dun Edinbain, has extensive details of the site.
