This is one of two brochs that are only some 500m apart from each other. Being more than 2000 years old, they are some of the best kept brochs in Scotland. Brochs are unique to Scotland and scientists are still not 100% sure what purpose they fulfilled. They are well worth a visit though if you are in the area - it is mindboggling how they could build so accurately only using drystone wall techniques.

Free to visit, this is the better of the two Brochs down Glen Elg. They are just a short walk apart, so finding a roadside spot will suit walking to either.
