Dun Choinichean | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Isle of Mull | Visited | 11th Jun 2024 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Well preserved small dun in beautiful setting with good, sheep maintained, access trail rising up hillside to Dun. 400 m from road to Dun. Worth the visit to admire old stonework and site, and take in a lovely view of Loch Tuath and Ulva. Visited in 2013 and 2024. | ||
Torr A'mhanaich | Hillfort | Scotland | Isle of Mull | Visited | 8th Jun 2024 | 1 | 4 | 4 | Access is an easy stroll down a house driveway, then a short climb through beautiful open woodland to the fort site. However, access route is IMHO at the limit of acceptability under the Scotland right to roam code.
The fort itself is reduced to low lines of rocks and rubble that demarcate the b... Read More |

Torr A'chlachain, Mull | Hillfort | Scotland | Isle of Mull | Visited | 1st Jun 2024 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Relatively easy to access site. Has vast parking area at junction of forestry track and road just south west of site.
Little remains of the hill fort except the site and immediate surrounds. I am reasonably certain I found the site of the Hill fort using the site plan sketch from Canmore (Canmore... Read More |

Dun Aisgain | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Isle of Mull | Visited | 3rd Jun 2024 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Visited in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2017, 2024. It was originally a fence free ramble across a few very deep gullies to get to the Dun. The way is now obstructed by 8 foot high ag fences. Use gates directly in front of Burg house to pass thru the 2 fences and then work your way down to Dun. Ther... Read More |

Dun Chruban | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Argyll | Visited | 20th May 2024 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Have also visited in 2008, 2010, 2013, 2017. Road to Dalnarrow takes one to within 175 m of Dun, but road condition has declined severely due to use by heavy agricultural tractors. Road has almost no pullouts over several km, and tractor rutting means there is no way for a 2 WD vehicle to get off ... Read More |

Kilcheran Dun | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Argyll | Visited | 27th May 2024 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Very easy stroll across smooth pasture from road. Parking places on roadside. Stile over fence adjacent to Dun a bit sketchy, but held up. Beautiful views of Lynne of Lorn and small islands from Dun site. Setting and relative tranquility allow one to ponder the ancient past in peace. Visited in... Read More |
