Dun Cromore is a broch situated on the shores of Loch Cromore in Ross-shire, Scotland. This Iron Age fortified structure represents the distinctive architectural tradition of Scottish brochs, circular stone towers that were constructed during the later Iron Age, typically between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD. The monument survives as a stone-built circular tower, characteristic of this monumental building type found across northern and western Scotland. Brochs such as Dun Cromore are thought to have served defensive and high-status residential functions within their contemporary societies, though their precise purpose remains subject to scholarly debate.
