Trace the footsteps of our prehistoric ancestors at this enigmatic site overlooking the magnificent Arran landscape.
Kilpatrick Dun contains the remains of several phases of occupation.
The Dun itself is a stone-walled, circular settlement, most probably of Iron Age date. Attached to this is a large enclosure from a later date.
There are plenty of other archaeological remains scattered around the site including hut-circles, cairns, and traces of fields which may have been tended during the Bronze Age.
