Cnoc Roll
Cnoc Roll
The cnoc sits above the ruins of Duntulm Castle. It is said that the Macdonalds of Duntulm once dissuaded an attack on the castle by marching a small force of men round and round and round the cnoc in sight of the hostile force of Macleods, who thus figured there were lot more defensive troops than there really were.
