Gunisary Bay

Stone Fort / Dun

drewbhoy Aug 24, 2019

The next day arrives and a good look round some of Benbecula planned, sadly more hammering down rain. However two duns reasonably near land captured my eye on the map.

Towards the south of Benbecula take the B891 heading east and pull in at the first houes, on the south side of the road. The dun is in the bay directly behind the house.

Sadly not much remains of the dun except for a few stones round the edge. The causeway does remain being mainly submerged.
