Dun Scarie, 400 yards to the north of Sithean Tuath, stands upon an island near the west coast of Loch Scarie, and is connected with the shore by a slightly curved causeway 6 feet wide and 34 yards in length. When the writer first visited this site in 1897, he found a neighbouring cottage newly erected with stones quarried out of Dun Scarie, and was also informed that Balranald House had been partly built with materials taken from the same source. A single fragment of ancient pottery, with some bones, perwinkle shells, and hammer-stones, were the sole relics observed here. The main structure seems to have been rectangular in general outline, but with rounded corners and its interior divided into three compartments. The site is however so indistinct as not to afford data for precise measurements.
Erskine Beveridge 1911, 190
