Sallachy Iron Age Broch overlooking Loch Shin
Access is via a small track on the South Western side of Loch Shin through a deer park with a double set of high gates which you need to make sure you've closed properly. There’s a lot to see here with a good sized mound overlooking Loch Shin, stonework in excess of two metres in places and that old 'double skin' thing quite evident still. A reasonably well defined entrance was still here with a Westward view over the loch, but no lintel and most of the interior is choked with fallen stones from the walls and a couple of small trees grow in their midst. Peaceful, quietly forgotten, faded majesty, a slight melancholy air and overtones of moss and lichen.
