Dunvegan Castle has been the stronghold of the Chiefs of MacLeod for nearly 800 years and it remains the home of the Clan Chief. Not the most attractive of castles from the outside, it looks a bit like a block of flats with turrets. Internally the castle is much more luxuriously decorated than you might expect with some garish pink painted rooms. Some parts of the castle are more austere and you see the entrance to the old dungeon.

The most intriguing item on display in Dunvegan castle is the legendary “Fairy Flag” which the Macleods have twice used successfully at the Battle of Glendale and the Battle of Trumpan. According to legend the clan may use the flag only three times when they are in need.

If you don’t want to pay the high entry fee, then you can still get a photo of the castle by driving further along the single track road after the castle entrance. There are several passing places where you can stop and get views back towards the castle.
