Dun a' Gheird, Mull The name is probably a corruption of Dun nan Geard (Fort of the Guard). It is a well-preserved galleried dun with spectacular views west across the south coast of the Ross of Mull and south to Colonsay, Islay and Jura. At the time of our visit, however, we could only imagine such views!
