Enjoy our 20 minute walk around Dunvegan Castle, Seat of the Clan MacLeod. The first two minutes are outside the castle, the remainder takes you through all the public rooms within the castle. It’s a magnificent place!

Dunvegan Castle is one the greatest Hebridean castles and the only Highland fortress to have been continuously occupied by the same family for 800 years.

Please pause the video to read the information cards as you journey through the inside.

We spent a fantastic day there. You need, at the very least, half a day to do it justice. We went through the interior of the castle twice, then explored their extensive and magnificent gardens. A full day could have been enjoyed there quite easily. The castle shop is great too.

You may notice the painting of Duncan Forbes, Lord President, from Culloden House, at exactly 12 minutes into the video. We own items which belonged to him and his son, John.

We would highly recommend a visit to Dunvegan Castle if you’re going to the beautiful Isle of Skye. If you have Clan MacLeod ancestry, we hope you enjoy.

    Beautifully restored – wondering how long this was inhabited?

    Thank you for the video. Marvellous. I visited Dunvegan Castle in 2017. I played the pipes in the 2017 Edinburgh Tattoo and recovered my energises touring the Isle of Skye. My great grandmother, Catherine McLeod was born there about 1841. My signature tune is Morag of Dunvegan.
