Dun Dornaigil, Iron Age broch in Strathmore Valley, Scotland.

The circular stone tower of Dun Dornaigil rises to seven meters on its northeastern side with walls measuring fourteen meters in diameter.

Built between 100 BC and 100 AD, Dun Dornaigil represents one of five hundred brochs constructed across northern Scotland during the Iron Age period.

The engineering methods used in constructing this dry stone roundhouse demonstrate the advanced architectural capabilities of Iron Age Scottish builders.

The archaeological site maintains a dedicated parking area near the A836 road, with an information board explaining the structure's features to visitors.

A substantial triangular stone lintel measuring 1.4 meters at its base spans across the northeastern entrance of the structure.
