West Kintyre

Dun Skeig

Dun Skeig Fort stands atop the massive single hill of Dun Skeig that rises above Clachan beach at the entrance to West Loch Tarbert. This prominent landmark is visible to all who pass.
The Remains of what appears to be defensive works are obvious on the summit. The hill rises some 469.5 feet on the shore-side where sheer cliffs of the Dun stand guard at the loch entrance. Various estimates are given as to when the site was first inhabited, but most probably by the late Iron Age to early Bronze Age.
