Dun Beag Iron Age broch, Struanmore, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK, looking SE across the interior to the entrance. The passage is flanked by entrances to a corbelled cell (L) & a cell & mural stair leading to upper levels (R). The broch's circular inner court is just under 11m across, the double wall containing cells, a gallery and stairway is up to thick. The upper levels of the tower have collapsed, but the walls survive up to high in places. The broch is one of the best preserved on Skye, it was excavated in the early 1900s by Countess Vincent Baillet de Latour FSA (Scot). Loch Harport is to the rear R with the Cuillin Hills beyond.
