Among the disturbance to the southeast are signs of walling.

Just a hint of wall footings among the vegetatiion.

Bruan Broch is a prominent mound at the side of the A99 road near Ulbister, and just a kilometre south of the famous Whalligo Steps.

This overview of Dunan Choinnich, surrounded by a pattern of old lazybeds, was taken from the summit of the 60 metre high hill to its northwest.

This view of the inner court of Dunan Choinnich was taken from the eminence to the west of the structure.

Remains of walling to the east of Dunan Choinnich, where the only significant stretch of outer walling course may be seen.

The eastern rampart of Dunan Choinnich. A pair of inner walling foundation blocks is visible at right foreground while random stones peek out above.

No visible structure remains of this, the collapsed landward wall of Dunan Choinnich.

This is a panoramic image across the court of Dunan Choinnich, looking north.

A pile of walling material cascades down the northern boundary of Dunan Choinnich. This may be the location of an entrance passage.

The broch wall still exhibits outer courses over a metre tall.

Looking south along the outer walling courses.

Almost hidden by undergrowth, the northeast stretch of the wall houses this unusual cavity, apparently with a lintel across it. Maybe it’s just a case of damage exposing a ground level gallery?

A short stretch of walling courses at Minera broch.

Stones peek out from the broch mound.

This depression with large stones could be the entrance passage at Minera broch mound.

Wag of Forse can be a little difficult to locate.
It sits in a depression in undulating terrain, and this is the first sighting of it.

Approaching the dun from the north, this is the entrance portal, complete with a massive wedge-shaped lintel.

View across the interior of the dun, towards the entrance with its prominent lintel.

The wall of the dun is now reduced to a handful of walling courses.
