The grassy interior of Dun Vlargveg. Don’t be fooled by the aspect: steep grass and vertical rock lie between this viewpoint and the grassy level beneath.

This is a composite of four photographs, taken from the southeast with the camera elevated on a monopod, showing the structure of the circle.

This is an elevated panorama, a composite of three photographs taken with the camera held aloft on a monopod. This aspect clearly shows both the Stone Circle and its interior ring.

This is the largest stone of the Cairn, on the bank to its west (the cairn is behind this viewpoint). The two large boulders beyond are natural, and the stones to the left field clearance. In the distance the Boswell Monument stands on the horizon.

This is the view of the Ring Cairn, approaching from the east. The large block to the west of the cairn is clearly visible, just below the skyline, in the distance.

Hut Circle No 1 (the westernmost one) at Old Kinord. Its stunningly impressive rampart is virtually complete apart from two lower stretches – probably entrances.

This is a section of the rampart of Hut Circle No 1 (the western one), almost 3 metres wide by almost 2 metres in height.

Hut circle No 2, the middle one, shows an almost complete surrounding rampart over a metre in height.

This is the easternmost circle, and the least impressive of the three.

The platform at the western tip of Prail Castle promontory. The hollow at the left was the site of a wartime Home Guard post.

The promontory on which Prail Castle once stood sweeps majestically back to meet the shoreline cliffs, over a hundred metres to the west.

The severely vertical cliffs that guard Prail Castle’s southern flank.

The only way to image this massive monument in its entirety is to take two photographs and merge them together.

These massive foundation blocks are virtually all that remains of this Dun.

The grassy saucer shaped summit of Dùn Sgalair. Turf mounds around the perimeter doubtless conceal residual walling courses.

Looking down on Dun Faich from the roadside at Kilmore.
Image credit: Les Hamilton
Dun Faich looks benign from a distance, but it took ages to fight a way up it through unforgiving brambles (blackberries) and bracken.
Image credit: Les Hamilton
The best reason to visit Dun Faich is for the fantasic views across the Sound of Sleat towards the mountains of Knoydart.

The best walling courses remaining are found on the exterior of the dun, to its north.

Thick vegetation obscures any details of the summit of Creagan Soillier apart from some tumbled walling.
