Edin's Hall Broch, Iron Age fortification near Duns, Scotland.
The broch features thick circular stone walls exceeding 5 meters, with a narrow entrance passage and guard chambers positioned beside the doorway.
Built during the first two centuries AD, the broch stands within an older hillfort that was constructed between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago.
Archaeological excavations in the 19th century uncovered artifacts including a stone spindle whorl, jet ring, and amber bead, now displayed at the National Museum of Scotland.
The structure remains accessible throughout the year, situated on the northeast slope of Cockburn Law, approximately 4 miles north of the town of Duns.
Two copper ingots discovered inside the broch in 1976 originated from local mines, indicating the presence of mineral wealth in the ancient community.
