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!

Tussocks and Bog You can't see the bog in the photo but it was certainly all around, and typical tussocky Mull terrain - ankle turning at every step.
After a day spent on the dramatic south coast of Mull it seemed an anti-climax to walk across this ground, but at least the views to Jura made up for it.
