Log Text: Much of its ambience comes from the Arran backdrop, but it's an intriguing site, including the near surroundings, and about all of which I'm sure there is much more to be learnt.

Log Text: This is a 4km return walk, if you park at the "P" on the OS map. To drive onward is do-able in a 2WD family car, but though the route is flattish, it is *very* bumpy. There is no tarmac.

Log Text: Re: the central ring cairn, I've been looking through Burl's Stone Circles and have as yet failed to find an explanation for what seems to be a large stone (or two) apparently missing and the resultant space filled in with rocks.
Isn't it odd that had a passage started where such stones might be missing, then it would logically(?) have continued in the same direction, i.e. towards the midwinter sunset, as do the passages in the other two cairns, i.e. passage cairns, on the site.

Dun Ringill submitted by Andy B on 3rd Nov 2010. View from the south showing the construction of the wall. It is of much smaller stones than most of the duns on Skye.

Log Text: Don't expect a conventional broch - this one seems to have been much altered. It must have been an important area, there are three other Duns before you reach the southern tip of the peninsula, and there is a large round cairn, a good stone circle, and other sites nearby.

Badanloch submitted by SandyG on 27th Feb 2017. The stones forming the lower end of the alignment. The juxtaposition of water and mountains probably formed a focus for the ritual activities carried out at this place. View from the east (Scale 1m). 5 September 2016.
