about 1/4m. [mile] from the N. [North] end are the ruins of a
broch known as "Greysteil Castle." The ruins
are not overgrown with vegetation. The base
of the wall on the exterior is visible at several
points and indicates a diameter over all
of about 69'. The thickness of the wall has
been from 14' to 15'. The entrance appears
to have been from the landward side but
the passage is ruined beyond recognition.
On the right of it has been a guard chamber
the back wall of which is visible. On the
N. [North] a chamber has been exposed some 11' in
length by 5' in width. The greatest elevation of the ruin is about 12'. Across the neck
of the spit at some 26' from the base of
the broch a wall has been built 8' in thick:
:ness curving concentrically with the broch
from shore to shore. Through the centre of
this wall a passage 6' in width walled
on either side lead to the entrance to the
broch.

Standing Stones Achkinloch (65)
At the SW [South West] corner of Loch Stemster near Achkinloch
is a remarkable setting of stones. In
from the monument is an irregular oval
broader at one end than the other and
with the setting discontinued across the
narrow end. The main axis is N and S. [North and South].
