Title A name given to the resource Museum: Dun an Sticer Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 185 Reconstruction Date Represented Iron Age Advisers Marri Morrison (Taigh Chearsabhagh) Authors Sarah Kennedy, Iain Oliver, Alan Miller Canmore https://canmore.org.uk/site/10294 How A digital landscape was created using survey data and height map. Models were created in 3D modelling programs and imported into UNREAL (a cross-platform game engine for creating virtual worlds). The models were then scaled, orientated and assembled. The landscapes were populated with flora and fauna. Where applicable, models of characters and animals were imported and animated. Evidence The site at Dun an Sticir was studied by nineteenth and early twentieth-century antiquarians but has not received a modern excavation (although a measured survey was undertaken by RCAHMS in 2012). The reconstruction of Dun an Sticir is based on observation of the surviving ruins and comparison with other brochs in Western Scotland. The representation was informed by the research of Dr Tanja Romankiewicz from the University of Edinburgh.

About 2000 years ago a broch was built on a man-made island in Loch an Sticir. Brochs were relatively tall circular buildings which were used as dwellings and defensive structures by the inhabitants of Northern and Western Scotland during the Iron Age. Dun an Sticir appears to have continued to be inhabited during the Viking period. In the High Middle Ages the (by then very ancient) broch was converted into a small hall or tower house. The Open Virtual Worlds team and Smart History worked with Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum and Arts Centre to create a reconstruction of how Dun an Sticir may have appeared during the Iron Age.
