Caisteal Grugaig is a fine example of an Iron Age broch. It stands on a rocky knoll overlooking Loch Alsh. A broch is a drystone roundhouse tower of a type only found on Scotland’s Atlantic coast, throughout the Highlands in the Northern Isles. They had several floors connected by stairways and passages built into hollow, double-skinned walls.
Brochs were prestigious defensive structures – and they also demonstrated land ownership and tenure. If your family owned a broch, you were part of an Iron Age elite!

Dùn Totaig, also known as Caisteal Grùgaig, is an Iron Age broch located in a secluded woodland on the south side of Loch Alsh. Despite the interior being partly overtaken by ferns, its double-layered walls still stand to a height of several feet. The broch offers a glimpse into the past with its entrance lintel and staircases within the walls. It’s a fascinating site for those interested in ancient Scottish architecture and history.
