J. Macdonald Esq |

This name is applied to the remains of an ancient building resembling very much in construction the Pictish Towers of Sutherland shire.

It stands on a small island (which has the appearance of being artificial) in the loch of the same name, and is approached by foot way formed of stones.
Hugh Macdonald, a relation of Macdonald of Sleat, fled from Skye to escape from his chief (against whom he had conspired) to this Dun. He was captured by the treachery of the woman who brought him food, carried to Skye, and thrown in the dungeon of Duntulm Castle, where he died of thirst. |
