Dun View

Stone Fort / Dun

Visited: september 6, 2015

Dun View is well named: it certainly has a great view over Dun Maraig in Poll Loch na h-Ealaidh bay.

Rated as a possible dun by Canmore, it sits atop a 30 metre knoll just back from the north shore of the bay, above Cuidrach House.

It is a severly ruined structure with few if any foundation blocks remaining in place. It can be accessed in 10 minutes from the road leading to Cuidrach farm.
