    Very well preserved, can still see where the next floor would have gone. We didn't know where it was, ended up wondering around a bit looking over cliffs. So highlighted where the broch is in a photo for others.

    Clachtoll broch is a ln iron age ruin that has recently been excavated by AOC archeaology and the local community. Since bring excavated much of the brochs interior is now accessible. Cells and stairs penetrate the 5 meter thick drystone walls forming an impressive experience and a worthwhile detour. The broch is accessed by a short walk along the shoreline and is probably the best thing to see in the Clachtoll area. Good on the community there for bringing this place to life.

    A partially rebuilt Broch (family home) 20mins walk North of Clachtoll Beach organised by Historic Assynt. It was a pile of rubble until the group got together raising funds and grants to rebuild the base of what was there. An archaeological dig took place and more can be read in a book recording its findings called 'Clactoll Broch - An Iron Age Home In Assynt' by Historic Assynt. See some of it in pictures attached. It helps explain a lot of what was found and how it tells us about the family way of life in the Iron Age. What a lovely dream to see come true for a fully rebuilt and working Broch on this site in the future. 🤔

    Really did a lot of work to this. Stepping back thousands of years and you can feel it. Amazing wee spot. Worth a walk to see it and the views.

    This is really good example of a Broch featuring intact chambers within the double walls and a short section of stairway. There is also a bowl in the interior cut from incongruous rock. Nearby is a large split rock formation, small fisheries museum and great beaches.

    We didn't find any on site interpretation, however, a significant amount of the structure has been revealed. Plenty of food for your imagination! And then you can read the research too.

    A wild windy day on the headland, made me wonder why the people that built this fascinating structure chose this location. Totally unspoiled and natural, great little walk to blow away the cobwebs!

    Pretty good broch - still got the double walls and interesting things inside - better than I was expecting and you can go in and explore.
