Dun Telve, near Glenelg

We did walk yesterday, but as the weather was better later in the day, we waited until lunchtime before setting out. After breakfast we went to see the three 'duns' in the Glenelg area, just 5 minutes away, by car. Fascinating places.

Remnants of the Iron Age, these are well preserved forts where people used to live. It is quite incredible to try to imagine how these were built, so long ago.

Very similar to the interior of Mousa Broch and yes you do wonder how they managed to build such a place.

That's really a huge rock fortress. Amazing that it's still around this long. Imagine walking through that and feeling the history..

Wow! Amazing structure!

[Mary Siegle]

Impressive! How did they ever construct those?

[Phil Howcroft]

I don't think I would be standing in that doorway , I think I might want a hard hat !

@mcsiegle I know, it's a good question. It's just drystone. Seemingly they had thatched roofs. Quite incredible when you think of the basic, hand made tools they'd have had to use in those days.
