Misidentification

You could well be right, Lianachan - as it says in the notes, I couldn't get across to have a good look and if it is a sheep fold then I would probably have noticed close up. I'll take your word for the identification and have no problem with the sheep fold being removed by the eds!

I was afraid you'd think I was stepping on your toes, or attacking you.

I am definately right - I've passed the broch umpteen times (it's part of my prefered route south from home in fact) and I've been across. When the river's too high to ford safely, you can get there easily along a path on the other side of the river. It goes past the house on the bend just past the Glen Loth turn off on the A9.

If you look up the broch on canmore, you can see the sheepfold clearly marked immediately to its south too.
