Standing proudly on a cliff top guarding
the Sound of Mull, Duart Castle enjoys one of the most
spectacular and unique positions on the west coast of
Scotland. Visitors can relive the past with a walk through
the ancient keep, visit the dungeons where officers
of Tobermory’s Spanish Galleon were imprisoned,
and take a journey back through the ages in the exhibition
of clan history where many objects of historical interest
are on display. In 1911 Sir Fitzroy Maclean repurchased
and restored the castle, which is now occupied by Sir
Lachlan Maclean.
Famous as the seat of the Maclean Clan, Sir Lachlan
Maclean himself will be pleased to welcome you to his
fabulous 400 year old castle and home (subject to availability).
Enjoy a tour of the castle at your leisure with your
guide on hand to answer any questions.
A refreshing cup of tea or coffee with Scottish shortbread
or cakes will be served in the tea rooms, before returning
to your ship.
