This fine example of a broch overlooking the bay near Struanmore probably once had walls reaching a height of around thirty feet.


The walls were double and often had steps running between them to gain access to the upper levels as shown below.


The inner part of the broch probably contained a courtyard with timber enclosures for livestock and buildings against the wall. The photograph below shows the inner area of the broch.
