Dunvegan Castle

Dunvegan

Dunvegan Castle is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the stronghold of the Chiefs of MacLeod for nearly 800 years. Built on a rock, it has survived clan battles, the extremes of feast and famine and the profound social, political and economic changes through which the Western Highlands and Islands have passed.
 
Originally designed to keep people out, romantic and historic Dunvegan Castle was first opened to the public in 1933. Over the years, visitors have included Sir Walter Scott, Dr Johnson, Queen Elizabeth II and the Japanese Emperor Akihito.
