Scope and Content Although called a castle, this is actually a broch, presumably iron age. One of the best preserved monuments in the county, it stands on the highest point of a rocky ridge and commands an extensive view in all directions. The NW and SE flanks of the ridge fall steeply, the latter to a gently sloping terrace which in turn is bounded by a cliff which rises sheer from the shore. Access to the broch from the NE and SW along the ridge is comparatively easy. Tirefour Castle farmstead is at the bottom of the photo. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
