Dunvegan Castle and Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Dunvegan Castle is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the stronghold of the chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years. Originally designed to keep people out, it was first opened to visitors in 1933. Romantic, historic and steeped in Clan legend, the castle is set amid stunning scenery and beautiful formal gardens. Visitors can browse the many lovely items in the Gift Shops, enjoy light refreshments in the MacLeod Tables Cafe, or take a Sealboat trip during their visit. Also on the Estate are five beautiful traditional self catering cottages, which can be booked via their website.

About the area
Apart from the Orkneys and the Shetlands, Highland is Scotland’s northernmost county. Probably its most famous feature is the mysterious and evocative Loch Ness, allegedly home to an ancient monster that has embedded itself in the world’s modern mythology, and the region’s tourist industry.
