Dun an Sticir, Iron Age broch in North Uist, Scotland.
The circular stone structure sits on a small islet within Loch an Sticir, connected to the mainland by stone causeways spanning the water.
Built between 500 and 0 BCE, the broch features walls reaching 11 feet in thickness and later served as a stronghold for Hugh MacDonald in 1600.
The name translates to 'Fort of the Skulker' and represents the military engineering capabilities of Iron Age Scottish communities through its defensive architecture.
Visitors need waterproof footwear to cross the stone causeways, as water levels fluctuate and affect access to the archaeological site throughout the day.
The structure contains a rectangular medieval hall built inside the original circular broch, demonstrating the evolution of architectural styles across different periods.
