Dunalastair
Dunalastair was the home of the Clan Donnachaidh of Scotland which includes names such as Robertson, Duncan and Reid. This family had lived here until the 1850's and there is a burial ground of the chiefs of Clan Donnachaidh in the grounds. There is the ruin of an old Baronial style mansion in the grounds, built in 1862 by General Macdonald, the then owner of Dunalastair. The original tower house was burnt down after the 1745 rebellion as the great chieftain, Alexander Robertson of Struan was a Jacobite supporter. Another house, built on the site, burnt down accidentally in the 1850's. The estate is overlooked by the peak of Schiehallion, a conical mountain sometimes translated as 'The fairy hill of the Caledonians'.
