Dun Skudiburgh
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Fort or Dun
Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Yes on 14th Apr 2010
Dun Skudiburgh submitted by Andy B on 14th Apr 2010. Dun is the Gaelic for fort,which was built on a suitable crag or look out. This photo shows what a fantastis spot this was to see any invader coming in from the sea. The dun seemed to have arrived with the Brthonic Celts in about the 7th century BC. They are associated with the Iron Age culture of warrior tribes and petty chieftains. The duns were often smaller than brochs and were not capable of supporting large, tall structures. When does a dun become a broch?

Dun Taimh submitted by Andy B on 13th Apr 2010. Dun Taimh occupies a prominent position at the western end of a steep sided narrow ridge. It is defended by a curved wall built across the ridge and along the southern edge, which although precipitous is not quite inaccessible.
