Dun Hallin, Iron Age broch in Duirinish, Scotland.
Dun Hallin is a circular stone tower on the Isle of Skye with walls that still stand in places over 3 feet (1 meter) high. The structure features a narrow entrance passage on the southeastern side and chambers built into the thick stone walls.
This tower was built during the Iron Age as a fortified dwelling for local people. The construction method using horizontal layers of shaped stones was typical of Scottish brochs from that period.
The architectural design of Dun Hallin demonstrates the advanced building techniques of Iron Age Scottish communities through its horizontal coursework and square block construction.
The site is located near Hallin village in Duirinish and is accessible on foot. The location sits in an open, windy area of the Isle of Skye, so appropriate clothing is advisable.
The structure preserves staircases built into the walls, indicating multiple stories once existed. This shows how ingeniously the builders combined living space with structural strength.
