This Hebridean castle was built in five segments, over ten building periods, from the 13th to the mid-19th century. In 1850 the design was unified by adding defensive battlements and dummy pepper pots on all sections. The castle has been in the same McLeod family for 800 years and was opened to the public in 1933. There are several paintings and family heirlooms on display. The 5 acres of formal gardens comprise walled, vegetable, rose and water sections. The Black Cuillin mountain range is on the estate and camping is permitted. Several workers' cottages have been renovated and are available for hire.
