Loch Na Caiginn

Stone Fort / Dun

drewbhoy Sep 6, 2019

The dun at Loch Na Caiginn, Loch of the Island, is a short distance south from the remarkable dun at Dun Nighean Righ Lochlainn. It also is a wonderful site, connected to the shore by a superb causeway.

Fallen walls surround the island which as well as Iron Age occupation has seen the Medieval peoples built a farm.

Beautiful site, beautiful scenery and mercifully it remained dry.
