Grummore is a Iron Age broch situated in Sutherland in the north of Scotland. The monument dates to the Iron Age period and forms part of the distinctive broch tradition of northern Scotland, a category of drystone circular tower structures that served defensive or prestigious residential functions. The site is officially recorded within the Historic Environment Scotland database under the reference SM1866. Like other brochs of this period, Grummore would have comprised a hollow-walled circular tower, though its present condition and the extent of surviving remains reflect the effects of time and landscape processes across nearly two millennia.
