Sallachy is a broch situated in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The monument is a circular Iron Age stone tower typical of the broch-building tradition that flourished in northern Scotland during the Iron Age, roughly between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. Brochs represent one of Scotland's most distinctive prehistoric architectural achievements, characterised by their hollow-walled circular construction and substantial defensive or prestige functions within Iron Age settlement hierarchies. The site's location in Sutherland places it within the core distribution zone of broch construction in the far north of Scotland.
