Brochs are highly impressive prehistoric buildings, unique to Scotland and found mainly in the north and west. These stone roundhouses date from around 400-200 BC. This broch may have belonged to a wealthy family, demonstrating control of the glen.

The Dun Dornaigil broch is an impressive structure, even so located as it is amongst the epic landscape of the Strathmore rivers and hills.

The triangular lintel over the entrance is as solid a support as you could ever hope to find, having stood for approx 2,300 years and counting.
