Tappoch Broch is a Iron Age circular stone tower situated near Stirling in Stirlingshire, Scotland. The monument dates to the later Iron Age, likely constructed between the 1st century BCE and 1st century CE, representing the final phase of broch building in Scotland. The structure exhibits the characteristic features of broch architecture, including a circular dry-stone wall with an internal gallery system, though it now survives only as a reduced ruin. Brochs of this type are considered uniquely Scottish monuments and are thought to have served defensive, residential, or storage functions for elite families during this period.
