Duart Castle Mull
Duart Castle positioned on a high crag at the end of a peninsula jutting into the Sound of Mull. The Keep was built by Chief Lachlan Lubanach Maclean and on the vulnerable landward side is 29 feet high and 10 feet thick. The walls facing the sea are less thick ranging from 5 to 9 feet. The castle dates back to the 13th century and is the seat of Clan MacLean and is still lived in by the 28th Chief of the Clan. The castle was closed when I was there, but is open to the public and often used as the venue for a wedding. There has been scaffolding here for quite a while, hopefully it will soon be repaired and removed.
