Dun Troddan Iron Age Broch On Visit To Gleann Beag In The Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of of Dun Troddan Iron Age Broch on ancestry visit to the Scottish Highlands. Dun Troddan stands on a level rock platform north of the Abhainn a’Ghlaine Bhig, in the lower reaches of Gleann Beag. It lies just north of the minor road leading south from Glenelg. It can be accessed via a steep path. A broch is an Iron Age drystone hollow walled structure of a type found only in Scotland. The sophisticated use of dry stone has led to their classification as complex Atlantic roundhouse. Their original usage is a matter of debate: some have proposed that they were essentially military structures, while today many assert that they had a multitude of uses.
