Angus Morrison A.A. Carmichael Esq. Admiralty Chart Black's Map D. McDonald Berneray |
021 | This name is applied to the remains of what is said to have been a castle or Dun or Fort. There appears to have been an outer wall which was of no great strength, but the interior wall or the fort itself appears to have been strong and well built. It was circular in shape, and from its present appearance I would take it to have been a pictish tower. It is almost entirely covered over by sand. Probably the houses that were on this island, were built of the stones from this building as it must have been greatly reduced from its original size The name signifies "The old Castle". It is situate at the east side of the island of Pabbay. |
