Isle of Skye, Outer Hebrides, ScotlandMore information:
Dun Beag is an Iron-Age broch located on a rocky knoll northwest of the village of Struan on the west coast of the Isle of Skye, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. A broch is a kind of Iron Age round stone tower found only in Scotland. Most brochs were built from around 100 BC to 100 AD. Dun Beag consists of a drystone tower almost 19 meters in diameter with walls about 4 meters thick at the base. The remains of the broch stand 2 meters tall at their highest point. The broch was apparently occupied for a very long time. Explorers in the early 1900s reportedly recovered Medieval and later coins from the site.
