Background
History
Dun Grugaig has not been excavated. The earliest record of the broch seems to be by Alexander Gordon in 1720 who refers to a 'Castle Chonil' in the east part of the glen and as being distinct from the other two brochs. The first modern survey was conducted by Henry Dryden in 1871.
