'Back to Borve'
BORVE (Norse: Little Fort)
Five miles north of Portree, on the road to Uig, Borve stands near the turn off for Dunvegan. There are three standing stones, within a short distance of each other, alongside the road running through the township. Near the bottom of the ridge leading up to Bealach a Chaol-reidh (395m) are the remains of a broch, Dun Borve.
