From Loch an Daill we headed south on the A865 and took the first road heading west. Similar to Loch an Daill Mary provided a parking space, or rather her shrine did, at the end of the road, or just before it headed south. From the shine I jumped the gate and headed south east, the site is easily spotted. It has been a trip in which water levels have featured quite a bit, and this is a massive example of dropping water levels. What used to be loch has vanished and changed into a large marsh, perhaps you can get in from the south but looking at aerial photos on Canmore I'd suggest not trying. However, I got as close as I could, before deciding it was unsafe. What remains is a bit of a shambles, it appears to have been used for several functions, the outlines of buildings can be seen. It probably has been a cairn or a dun or a broch. Stones could easily have been recycled but as Canmore suggests a proper excavation is needed. A bit of a what-if. Visited 11/08/2023. |

Visited 28.5.12 Directions: In the hamlet of Iochdar – next to Dun Buidhe Broch. There is not much to see here – just a rough grass covered mound. Canmore states: ‘A rough mound of stones, 70ft in diameter and 10ft high – about 150 yards WSW of Dun Buidhe. Without excavation it is impossible to say whether it is a Dun or Cairn’. |
