Duart Castle

Duart Castle is located on the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland.  The castle dates back to the 13^th century and is the seat of clan MacLean.  The fortress sits on a crag at the end of a peninsula on Mull.  It has fortified walls and stands guard over what was once one of the most important water crossways in western Scotland.  A ship couldn’t pass without the occupants of Castle Duart being aware.  Sir Fitroy Maclean, the 26th Chief of clan MacLean, restored the castle in 1911.  The home currently serves as the home of the 28^th Chief of clan MacLean, but it is open to the public.
