Dunadd
Dunadd, (Scottish Gaelic ''Dùn Ad'', 'fort on the () Add'), is an Iron Age and later hillfort near Kilmartin in Argyll and Bute, Scotland and believed to be the capital of the ancient kingdom of Dál Riata.〔John Keay and Julia Keay, ''Collins Encyclopedia of Scotland'', (Harper Collins, 1994) p. 255.〕 ==Description==
Dunadd is a rocky crag that may have been one time an island and now lies inland near the River Add, from which it takes its name, a little north of Lochgilphead (NR 836 936). The surrounding land, now largely reclaimed, was formerly boggy and known as the ''Mòine Mhòr'' 'Great Moss' in Gaelic. This no doubt increased the defensive potential of the site.〔Alan Lane and Ewan Campbell, ''Dunadd: An early Dalriadic capital'' (Oxbow Books, Oxford, 2000).〕
