Feranach is a broch situated in Strath na Frithe near Borrobol in Sutherland, northern Scotland. The monument dates to the Iron Age and represents one of the distinctive stone tower structures characteristic of prehistoric Scotland, typically constructed between the 1st century BCE and the 1st century CE. As a broch, Feranach would originally have comprised a substantial circular hollow-walled tower, though its present physical condition reflects the effects of time and weathering on its stone structure. The site's location in the Strath na Frithe valley, a significant prehistoric landscape, underscores the regional importance of broch settlement during the Iron Age in the far north of Scotland.
