Dunnideer Hill Fort Ruins

The tower house here was built in around 1260. It's mainly ruined but thought to have once consisted of a single rectangular tower with walls almost 2m thick and several floors.
The castle was built on the site of an older hill fort settlement which dates to around 250BCE.
The hill is 268m high and offers great views in all directions.
You can walk up and back from the car park in the southeast but why not make a longer loop following the path over the hill and then around the obvious loop to the north, it's about 5km.

Just a short walk up the hill from the parking area, and this hill fort remains sit at the top. These can be seen for miles around.

Is it worth the short trek up to the top to see the remains of the fort? Probably not unless you are really into the history of old forts. However, when you combine the ruins with some great views I think it is worth the walk. Enjoy!
