A prominent but largely collapsed broch on the Waternish peninsula.

The tumbled stoned on the green hilltop are the remains of a broch. Stone from the broch has been robbed for the construction of other buildings and walls in the area, all of which are now also ruined. More information on the Highland... (more)

Dun Gearymore is closer to the track than nearby Dun Borrafiach, but is less well preserved.

The broch is dilapidated and the walls are at best only a few courses high on the outside. Nonetheless, this is an interesting monument, with some well preserved details to be explored amongst the tumble. There are galleries and passageways... (more)

A small hole in the rubble (see NG2364 : Dun Gearymore) leads into this passageway between the inner and outer walls of the broch.

There is evidence of building from several periods around the ruins of Dùn Gearymore. Some of the buildings almost certainly were constructed from stone robbed from the deserted broch. More information on the Highland Council Historic... (more)

Looking west from the top of the ruined broch, ruins of other buildings can be seen in the centre of the photograph. Just beyond them two people are walking along the track from Trumpan to the deserted township of Unish.

Most visitors to this part of the Waternish peninsula north of Trumpan slavishly trek up this farm track which runs across the moor a little way inland from attractive grassy cliff tops. Parts of the track can become very boggy in wet... (more)

The cliffs on the west side of the Waternish peninsula, looking south towards the headland of Ard Beag.

Small pebble beach at the base of big cliffs on the west side of Waternish. Hills of Harris on the horizon.

One of a group of four seen soaring along the cliff line in a stiff southwesterly breeze. It's at times like these I wish I had carried more than a wee compact camera...

The bridge proudly carries the track to Unish. This architectural marvel boasts sturdy concrete piers, iron girders, and wooden sleepers, harmoniously blending strength and elegance.
