    Hiking

    Tappoch broch occupies the summit of a rocky knoll in the middle of Tor Wood. It is surrounded by a pair of concentric banks which would originally have been boulder-faced walls with rubble cores.

    When the site was first excavated in 1864 it took the form of a large mound, and the excavators – led by Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Dundas of Carron Hall and nearby Torwood Castle – removed around 200 tons of boulders and other material from the centre of the broch, exposing the original natural rock surface floor.
