Dun Ringill, Iron Age fort near Loch Slapin, Scotland.
The stone fortification stands 4 meters tall with 16-meter-wide sides and features a central landward-facing doorway measuring 1.8 meters in height.
The structure originated in the Iron Age as a broch around the first century and later transformed into the primary residence of Clan MacKinnon.
The name Dun Ringill combines ancient Gaelic words, with 'Dun' meaning fort and 'Ringill' translating to point of the ravine.
Visitors reach the archaeological site through stepping stones at the mouth of the burn, leading toward the western shore of Loch Slapin.
The stone wall foundation surrounding the main structure created both a defensive barrier and an enclosure for keeping livestock.
