Bernera barracks

colinjago — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:47:40 +0000

After the Jacobite uprisings and the Battle of Glen Shiel in 1719, it was deemed prudent to build military roads for the rapid deployment of Hanovarian troops. These are generally attributed in this area to General Wade. The government troops were garrisoned at strategic locations, The Barracks at Bernera by Glenelg village being one of them.

The Glenelg Brochs

colinjago — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:44:51 +0000

A Broch is an Iron Age drystone hollow-walled structure of a type found only in Scotland. Brochs include some of the most sophisticated examples of drystone architecture ever created… (read more on Wikipedia)

The Glenelg Brochs are particularly well preserved. Both Dun Telve and Dun Troddan can be reached by car. They stand more than ten metres high and are easy to explore. Their exposed structural features are both fun and an aid to understanding how they were built and how they worked.

Dun Telve

“For centuries, the Glenelg brochs have been the subject of intense interest from antiquarians and travel writers, whose various interpretations of their origins include Pictish towers and Danish forts. In folklore, the brochs were the homes of Fingalian giants.”

Dun Troddan

According to some Brochs are the tallest prehistoric buildings in Britain.
