Hill o'Many Stanes submitted by DrewParsons on 14th Oct 2010. Hill o'Many Stanes on a sunny day in September 2010. It had been described to me as a mini Carnac so I was somewhat underwhelmed by it. With less expectations it would make a nice detour to see.

Log Text: The third best preserved broch in Scotland (after Mousa Broch in Shetland and the nearby Dun Telve Broch), Dun Troddan's wall stands at almost 25 feet at its heighest point. As described by recent visitors, "On the left of the roofless entrance passage there is a corbelled guard-cell. In the thickness of the broch wall...three galleries survive along with a stone stair that rises to a level passage."

Log Text: Of the three brochs that lie inland along the road from Glenelg, the largest of these is Dun Telve (or the Lower Broch), the best preserved broch in mainland Scotland and the second best preserved in Scotland as a whole after the Mousa Broch in Shetland.
Dun Telve's standing external wall is over 30 feet high. As described by recent visitors, "In the highest part of the wall...two scarcement ledges are visible: the upper one is a unique survival in Scottish brochs and probably supported a conical roof. The wall tapers inwards, in the distinctive 'cooling-tower' profile like Mousa Broch in Shetland. To the left of the entrance a doorway leads into a corbelled cell and a stone stairway. Four galleries and part of a fifth survive in the thickness of the wall. The voids visible in the inner face of the wall could have been used to ventilate and light the upper galleries. Outside the broch are traces of later buildings."

Dun Beag (Struan) submitted by funsize on 3rd Jun 2007. This ruined fort has a magnificent position overlooking Loch Bracadale with views of far way Beinn na Boinneid and Beinn Bhac-ghlais. As this site is right next to the road, it is well visited. In spite of this, it has a remote and reflective atmosphere.
