Dunagoil Hill Fort, Bute
Atop high cliffs at Dunagoil in the southwestern corner of Bute is an intriguing Iron Age hill fort, with a second, smaller fort nearby and a burial cist in between the two forts. Dunagoil Hill Fort stands at the southern end of Dunagoil Bay, a short distance away from the ruins of St Blane's Church and Monastery.
Car park is situated in layby on Plan Road, by the bus turning point. Walk back uphill to the information sign for the start of the walk. Pair with the St Blanes Church walk which uses the same car park.

From the car park it was a short roadside walk to the information sign and then over some farmland before reaching the site. There's not much of the Fort left, but the area offers a few caves to explore in addition to the breathtaking views. Very rough underfoot, so sturdy footwear is definitely recommended.
