Doon Castle, Iron Age broch in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
The stone structure stands on Ardwell Point with walls reaching 1.8 meters in height and measuring between 3 to 4 meters in thickness.
Archaeological records from 1912 by RCAHMS document this defensive tower, which became a scheduled monument of Scotland in October 1924.
The structure reflects Iron Age Scottish engineering methods through its drystone construction techniques and strategic positioning on the promontory.
Visitors can reach the broch through a man-made causeway that crosses a natural gully measuring 6 meters across and 2.3 meters deep.
Unlike typical Scottish brochs that feature one entrance, this structure contains two separate entrances positioned for both land and sea access.
