Dun nan Gall Broch is a Iron Age defensive structure located on the Isle of Mull in Argyllshire, Scotland. The broch represents a form of circular stone tower characteristic of northern Britain, typically constructed during the later Iron Age, roughly between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. Like other brochs in Scotland, it would have served as a fortified residence or stronghold for a local elite family, with its distinctive hollow-walled construction providing both structural strength and defensive capability. The monument stands as evidence of the sophisticated architectural knowledge and social hierarchy of Iron Age communities in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
