Description:

These uniquely Scottish fortifications are usually found only in the north. 

Edin’s Hall is one of just a handful of Iron Age brochs found in Lowland Scotland.

Although initial construction dates back well before Christ, this broch has been in use as a hill fort even in Roman times. The site as a whole is extraordinarily complex – with an impressive hillfort, later settlement and the well-preserved remains of a broch. The views are fantastic!!
