Dun Eochla submitted by jeffrep on 13th Aug 2008. Dun Eochla, a stone fort located at the highest point on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands.

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."

Fernworthy circle submitted by AngieLake on 4th Nov 2005. The southeast-to-south arc of the circle, seen from inside its area, with the angular south stone at the right of pic. The left-hand stones of the main south row lead down towards the light green fir tree. In fact, there are many small stones lying in the coarse brownish grass, which are quite difficult to pick out as rows. 'Must try harder' next time - when it is drier weather!
