Dun Carloway Broch

Dun Carloway Broch (Dun Charlabhaigh) is situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. The broch is one of the best-preserved in Lewis; one wall still stands 30 feet at its highest point.| Brochs are stone fortifications looking remarkably like huge ruined chimneys. They date from the late Iron Age period, and are likely to have housed the chief of small tribes. Find out more...
