It is the oldest of Scotland's castles still inhabited; the MacLeods have been living there since the 13th century. Their motto is Hold Fast! ("Hang in there!"). The family never abandoned the building, its rock, and even less the Fairy Flag, an old piece of cloth that has caused many adventures.

The tour includes a visit to the castle, where you can see various objects from the MacLeod clan, but also the bedrooms, lounges and dungeons, as well as the gardens, created in the 19th century. The latter have become one of the largest horticultural gardens in Scotland.

Déception également pour ce château. Nous nous attendions à mieux après les autres châteaux visités auparavant surtout au prix de l'entrée. Le jardin est magnifique cependant avec deux petites cascades. A notre avis, il vaut mieux profiter des magnifiques paysages de Skye plutôt que de perdre son temps à aller voir ce château.

Big disappointment that this castle of the Mac Leod clan. We worth a visit it, having read in the guides that had been restored with cement, but curiosity porta, because it is not visible road. We therefore paid the price, see a castle ugly exterior. Indeed, the catering are disastrous. The gardens are pretty, the castle is furnished, since still inhabited, but the people inside are really friendly, and take pleasure in telling us the stories of the castle and furniture.
