Loch Nan Gearrachan

Stone Fort / Dun

drewbhoy Oct 24, 2019

From Dun Thomaidh head back to the main road and head west on the A865 for a short distance to Loch Nan Gearrachun, just before the road reaches the banks of the loch there is a track heading north. I parked here and walked along the road until the dun was visible.

The island is connected to the north shore by an impressive causeway and is 10m by 8m. A ruined wall surrounds the site.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful site.
