Looking north, Taynish and in the inlet Tayvallich.

Protective wall on the south side.

Scant remains of a wall on the east, the natural defence probably good enough.

Looking down into Loch Sween.

Seems unbelievable, to me, that people do these things.

Some decent dry stane masonry remains.

The west wall, somewhat ruined by these stupid marker cairns. There is a huge caravan site at Castle Sween which probably doesn’t help.

Possible entrance to the south west.

The substantial south west wall.

The approach from the south west.

An outer wall further to the north east.

From below, north east.

Hint of a wall on the south east.

Part of the remaining wall on the north/west side.

Parts of the wall remain on the Loch Sween side.

A solitary sheep guards the north east, Castle Sween in the distance.

From the south, on the hillfort’s ridge.

From the south east.

Taken from just north of Doide, a small farmstead.

The possible north entrance is behind these cliffs.

Impressive walling on the south west.

Looking along the north wall, Paps of Jura dominating the scenery.

Entry from the north east.

With all the rain, almost everywhere is a bog.

Natural defence on the North East.

North west wall and probable entrance.

Wall on the north west.

Southern tip of the fort, Jura and Islay beyond.

Inside the fort looking North East.

Looking north along the east wall.

Looking west.

The fallen east wall.

Taken from the minor road near Kilmory.

Most of the arc, the rest is in the wall.

The west part of the arc.

Dun Fhuarlit cairn, and over on Jura, the Paps of Jura.

South east arc.

Looking north eastish.

Large kerbs on the south west.

Kerbs on the south arc.

Looking down towards Kilmory.

Taken from the Ardnaw Cairn.

From the east side, the Paps Of Jura and the Sound of Jura behind.
