Marching down the road, north west, to the next equally untouchable dun, this on the north west.

Achamhinish

Stone Fort / Dun

drewbhoy Jul 8, 2026

A nightmare to try and reach. I tried several times and could find no way up through small trees, head high weeds and a bountiful mix of what I call ‘jabby stuff’.

Trove describes the site as being 12m by 6m with the entrance being on the North East. Walls have also been built but they are impossible to see let alone reach.

A hike for a nice winter’s day.
