Dun Ringill
Dun Ringill (Gaelic: ''Dùn'', 'fort', ''Ringill'', 'point of the ravine') is an Iron Age hill fort on the Strathaird peninsula on the island of Skye, Scotland. Further fortified in the Middle Ages, tradition holds that it was for several centuries the seat of Clan MacKinnon.〔''Scotland an Oxford Archaeological Guide'', Oxford University Press, 1998, ISBN 0-19-288002-0〕 It is located east of Kirkibost on the west shore of Loch Slapin. == History == The original structure of Dun Ringill is consistent with an Iron Age Broch dating to approximately the first years of the common era. The main and subordinate structures have been occupied and modified throughout its history until the 19th century. Tradition relates that the structure was occupied by the MacKinnons as their clan seat well before the 16th century. It is mentioned in historical texts in the 16th century after which the MacKinnons moved their seat to Dunakin.〔''The Medieval Castles of Skye and Lochalsh'' pp. 39-43. Miket, R., and Roberts, D.
