About Dun Carloway Broch
Dun Carloway Broch was an Iron Age fortified tower built by local farming communities on the Isle of Lewis, likely around the first century BCE. It served as a defensible dwelling for a farming clan, its double-walled drystone construction providing protection and a display of status. Its design reflected a broch-building tradition distinctive to Atlantic Scotland.
