Dun an Ruigh Ruadh is a broch situated on the shores of Loch Broom in Ross-shire, Scotland. This Iron Age fortified structure dates to the later prehistoric period, representing the distinctive architectural tradition of Scottish brochs that flourished during the first centuries BCE and CE. The site occupies a strategic location overlooking the loch, typical of broch placement to command views across water and surrounding terrain. As a defensive settlement, the broch would have served both as a refuge and as a centre of power for its occupants during this period of Iron Age society in the Scottish Highlands.
