Description

Kildonan Dun | Argyll, Clyde and Ayrshire | Castles, Forts and Battles

Kildonan Dun is a well preserved example of a fortified farmstead from the first or second century AD. Located on the eastern shores of Kintyre overlooking Kilbrannan Sound, the dun would have been the centre of a small farming and fishing community. The structure was inhabited for over seven hundred years.
