A walk around Dunyvaig Casle in the Isle of Islay.

Dunyvaig Castle – the remains of a castle dating back to the 12th century, sits on an old broch – with amazing views in all directions. It was built by Somerled, King of the Isles, on top of a fort or dun on a rocky promontory jutting into Lagavulin Bay.
