Another, another beach – let´s go for a very long walk on the Maze: endless sands, rocks and the clearest water.

Dùn Mòr Bhalla – Vaul Broch
Let´s go for a little walk and visit one (of two?) brochs in the Isle of Tiree. Dún Mór Bhalla – Vaul Broch lies on the north coast of Tiree.
This is the best example of a broch on Tiree and the only one that has been excavated. The broch was built in about 60AD as an emergency refuge and then inhabited for 200-300 years. (Isle of Tiree)
Following that time it was used as accommodation only intermittently until the Vikings arrived. In later years the walls were lowered to near the present height and the interior was converted into a farmhouse with outhouses built outside the walls. (Isle of Tiree)
It is a short and easy walk to the broch, but might get a bit muddy in places.

Around Hynish
After visiting the museum in Hynish, I went for a little walk along the coast and then back to Hynish (and my car).
And back to the signal tower and the buildings of Hynish.
