Dunadd Fort, Argyll, Scotland
This evening, I am focusing on Dunadd, a rocky crag which was first fortified about 2400 years ago.This is located at the southern end of Kilmartin Glen, Argyll, West of Scotland which is renowned for its prehistoric monuments.
This evening, I am focusing on Carnassarie Castle which is located about 1 mile north of Kilmartin in Argyll, West of Scotland. The elevated site affording commanding views over Kilmartin Glen is ideal for a fortification. Indeed evidence suggests the possibility of a fortified settlement on the site dating back to the Iron Age (about 2000 years ago). There was almost certainly one medieval castle preceding the current one. Some key facts concerning the present castle:

This morning, we departed our Fort William lodgings and then headed west, tracking Loch Linnhe to Glencoe. On arrival we had a quick tour of the village and then drove up into the mountains for views and photos.
