Glen Beag Broch

Located in a glen south of Glenelg, are two of the finest examples of brochs (early fortified circular stone houses) to be found on the Scottish Mainland.

With their distinctive "cooling tower" shaped tapered walls, which have an inner and outer shell with floors of galleries formed from large slabs within, these are impressive structures dating back probably to the iron age (around 100BC).

Adelaide has not seen a cloud in a few days now. We could do with a wet day or two but at least it makes for good personal comfort...
