Glenelg Brochs: Dun Telve and Dun Troddan
Opening times and prices
The Glenelg Brochs are free to visit and open year-round.
Access
Dun Telve and Dun Troddan are located about 500 m apart, with Dun Telve near the river and Dun Troddan set slightly higher on a hillside terrace.
Small parking bays for 2–3 cars are available beside each broch on the narrow single‑track road that runs through the glen.
Dun Telve offers easier access via a mostly flat gravel path suitable for most visitors.
Dun Troddan requires a short, moderate climb up a grassy bank to reach the broch.
How to get here
About 8 miles south‑east of Kyle of Lochalsh, the Glenelg Brochs are reached by turning off at Shielbridge from the A87 onto the unclassified road to Glenelg.
