Dun Scarie, Loch Scarie, Balranald.
Near the middle of the western shore of Loch Scarie, some ½ mile north by west of Balranald, is an islet crowned by the scanty remains of Dun Scarie. Only an irregular mound, rising some 7 feet above the water, crowned with the rectangular foundations of late buildings, is to be seen. No structure remains in position to give any indication of the character or dimensions of the dun, but the islet is now after a partial drainage of the loch about 100 feet in diameter. A causeway 113 feet in length, with a slight curve in its course, connects the dun with the western shore of the loch. The stones of this work are spread over a width of about 12 feet, but originally it has not exceeded 6 feet.
