Rising to over 9 meters in parts, the broch’s double-walled construction features a central staircase and galleries with

Dun Beag is an excellent example of a broch: a kind of Iron Age round stone tower only found in Scotland. It stands at the top of a rocky knoll on the Isle of Skye, commanding excellent views of the surrounding landscape. The broch would have been built around 2,000–2,500 years ago. It appears to have been occupied for a very long period – medieval and later coins were reportedly recovered from the site in the early 1900s.

Tristan Hughes on Instagram: "How to build a broch in 2k22. Brochs were massive, drystone towers that dominated Scotland more than 2,000 years ago. Building these brochs without mortar was no easy feat. The IronAge communities had to ensure these towers remained upright and were built with as much stability as possible. Drystone builder Iain Maclean from the Caithness Broch Project gave me a quick demo of the different stone types probably used in the building of a broch in Iron Age times. #broc
