Parking is available at a small industrial site to the south of Daliburgh, next to the B888, I headed west across a dried marsh following a fence to reach a small peninsula. This is the closest anyone can get to the well ruined dun, 5 miles of stones are visible. A supposed causeway sometimes appears when the water is low, but on my visit it remained hidden.

Nice to see swans and ducks still using the site.
