Castle Dunvegan

  • February 16, 2025
  • 4 by bri from Elmhurst, Illinois
Dunvegan Cstle, perched on the rocky and wild western shore of Skye is the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland. Originally built by the old Norse sea rovers who first populated Skye in the ninth century, this piece of real estate has been owned and lived on for over one thousand years by the same family! The MacLeod Clan is one of the more interesting of the Scottish clans, hundreds of years of their history taken up in warring with the MacDonald's at the other end of the Isle. You can tour the castle and see some of the family relics that have been passed down throught the generations that include the magical wish granting Fairy Flag, and the huge silver tipped ox Drinking Horn that each chief of the MacLeods is expected to drain in one draught on his coming of age. The striking castle is full of highland history lore and legend.
