DUN CARLOWAY BROCH

Dun Carloway Broch is one of the best preserved Iron Age defensive towers in the country. In Scotland, they are called broch and this one was probably built in the ^first century AD. Although partially in ruins, its walls still reach 9 m high in places. It commands some beautiful views of the surrounding area, including towards Harris. Next door, the small Doune Broch Centre opens its doors in mid and high season to explain the origin of the building, its history and the life of its inhabitants.
