Glenelg Brochs: Dun Telve and Dun Troddan

About

Two well-preserved Iron Age brochs in Glen Beag, visited separately along the same narrow glen road. Dun Telve and Dun Troddan retain substantial drystone walls and internal structural details, offering one of the region's clearest introductions to broch architecture. Both are free and open year-round, but the official parking provision is extremely small: only two or three cars at each site. Campervan visitors must be prepared to pass without stopping rather than obstruct the road.

Campervan practical note

Each broch has only a two- or three-car bay on a narrow single-track road; larger vehicles should skip the stop if space is not immediately available.

Local support & visitor value

Historic Environment Scotland protects free public access to two substantial Iron Age towers in Glen Beag.

Parking notes

Only two- to three-car bays beside each broch on a narrow single-track road; no suitable overflow.

Responsible travel

Never block the road or passing places, and do not climb or dislodge ancient masonry.

Please use designated parking, avoid blocking roads or passing places, respect local communities, and check current conditions before travelling.
