Dùn in Loch an Dùnain One of many such small forts in the Hebrides, about 2000 years old and often on islands in lochans. This one is by the road [A858] between Dùn Chàrlabhaigh and Siadar. Apparently the climate was milder in those days, and I'm glad for them - it was cold, wet and windy when I was there in late-May.
