Located near Torinturk in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, Dùn a' Choin Duibh is a hillfort and archaeological site. The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as Fort of the Black Dog. According to local shanachies, the fort is named after a black wolfhound which was half wolf and defended the fort.
The fortification provides wide views of the Inner Hebridean islands of Gigha, Islay and Jura. From its position, visitors can also see the Mull of Kintyre and Ireland.
