Overview

Duart Castle

Attraction

Duart Castle is a dreamy fairytale castle. This 13th century structure was home of the Maclean clan. Inside you can learn about the history and climb the tower. Be sure to stop by the adorable tearoom and have some pastries before you leaving this site. Note: It is essential that you bring your camera because there are incredible views of the island from the castle grounds.
