Dùn aig Rubha Guail is a prehistoric dun situated on a promontory in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The monument consists of the remains of a circular stone-built fortification typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands. Its position on the headland would have provided defensive advantages and control over maritime approaches. The site represents an important example of dun architecture from the later prehistoric period, when such fortified settlements served as residences for local populations and markers of territorial authority in northern Scotland.
