Brae of Boquhapple is a broch situated in Perthshire, Scotland, representing the Iron Age defensive architecture characteristic of northern Britain during the first centuries before and after the Roman occupation. The monument stands approximately three hundred metres north-east of Boquhapple and belongs to the distinctive class of hollow-walled circular towers that were constructed primarily between the second and first centuries BCE. Like other brochs of the region, the structure would have served both defensive and residential purposes for the local Iron Age community, though the specific details of its construction and subsequent occupation history remain subject to ongoing archaeological interpretation.
