Dun Dornaigil

Dun Dornaigil: Dun Dornaigil

Dun Dornaigil is an Iron Age broch in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. It is located at grid reference NC 4571 4501 next to the Strathmore River, south of Ben Hope, immediately adjacent to the single track A836 road. Under the care of Historic Scotland, it has limited parking space and an information board for visitors.

The walls generally survive from 6ft to 11ft around the circumference of the broch, but above the doorway they rise to 22ft. The doorway boasts a massive triangular lintel, but the interior has been filled and is now inaccessible.
