Dun Mhic Leoid is a tower situated on the shore of Loch Tangusdale in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The structure represents a defensive fortification typical of the Hebridean tower tradition, likely dating to the medieval period when such strongholds served as seats of local clan authority. The tower's location on the loch shore reflects the strategic importance of waterborne access and control in the Scottish Highlands and Islands during this era. The site remains archaeologically significant as a record of Gaelic settlement patterns and the military architecture employed by regional powers in northern Scotland.
