Exploring the Ancient Broch of Dun Dornaigil

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, make your way to the village of Lairg. From the center of Lairg, take the A836 road heading northwest. After approximately 4 miles, turn left onto the minor road signposted for 'Dun Dornaigil'. Follow this road for about 1 mile, where you will see a small parking area on your right. Park your car here, and from the parking area, it's a short walk to Broch Dun Dornaigil, which is situated on a slight hill.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transport, catch a bus from Inverness to Lairg. The bus journey takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes. Upon arrival in Lairg, you can either walk (approximately 4 miles) or take a taxi to reach the broch. If walking, head northwest on the A836 road, then turn left onto the minor road for Dun Dornaigil. Note that taxis are available at the bus station, and fares may vary.

• Walking

  If you're already in Lairg and prefer to walk, head northwest from the village center on the A836 road. Continue for about 4 miles until you reach the turnoff for Dun Dornaigil. Turn left onto the minor road, which leads up to the site. The walk is scenic but be prepared for some uneven terrain as you approach the broch.

• Bicycle

  Cycling is another way to reach Broch Dun Dornaigil. From Lairg, take the A836 northwest for around 4 miles, then turn left onto the minor road for Dun Dornaigil. The route is mostly flat but be cautious of traffic on the main road. Ensure your bike is in good condition and wear a helmet for safety.
