Dun Torcuill

Off today to see probably the best preserved archaeological site on the Uist and I've never been there before.
I had tried twice but both times were thwarted by a combination of a deer fence and a deep ditch.
Today a different and long route in did at least mean we got there. The causeway across was passable if damp - you can see it curving in from the left - and the Dun itself was a really impressive pile of stones. The ice was not quite thick enough to skate across to it! Probably built about 300 AD but there is evidence that it continued to be used through to Medieval times.
Plenty of other archaeological bits and pieces although the grandly names St. Columba's Well was little more that a muddy puddle.
