Dun Taimh submitted by Andy B on 13th Apr 2010. Dun Taimh occupies a prominent position at the western end of a steep sided narrow ridge. It is defended by a curved wall built across the ridge and along the southern edge, which although precipitous is not quite inaccessible. There is no wall on the north side, where the cliff rises vertically. There are two separate walls across the entrance. The inner wall shows small portions of both faces in position. The inner wall is still about 3m wide and 2m tall. The outer wall is reduced to the found...

Dun Maraig
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Fort or Dun
Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Yes on 13th Apr 2010
Dun Maraig submitted by Creative Commons on 13th Apr 2010. The tidal island of Dun Maraig in Poll na h-Ealaidh has the vague remains of a fort on it. Once it was connected to the shore by a causeway, and it is still possible to walk across to it at very low tide.
Perhaps more interestingly, the small island was won as the star prize in a 1994 German TV game show by a Stefan Schluznus of Bremen. A pretty useless, but fun, sort of prize.
