Dun Telve

Dun Telve is an Iron Age broch near Glenelg in the Scottish Highlands, and one of the best-preserved brochs in Scotland, standing over 10 metres high with a diameter exceeding 20 metres. Two concentric drystone walls are tied together by large horizontal slabs forming gallery floors, with a winding stone staircase providing access to upper levels. Among the earliest monuments passed into State care in 1885, it is one of only four Scottish brochs retaining heights approaching their original form, alongside Mousa and Dun Carloway. The broch was likely robbed for stone in 1722, probably for construction of Bernera Barracks, and underwent permanent stabilization works around 1914 by the Ministry of Works.
