The Dun Telve (and Dun Troddon, 500m away) Brochs were built over 2000 years ago. A Broch is an Iron Age structure and type of roundhouse confined to Scotland. At 10m high, it would have once had an upper floor, where people would have resided, keeping their animals downstairs.

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.
