Take a white boat ride at Dunvegan Castle

Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye is one of Scotland’s most iconic sights. 

 

It has been the stronghold of the Chiefs of MacLeod for nearly eight centuries and was the scene of countless clan battles. The oldest continuously inhabited castle in the country, Dunvegan enjoys a fabulous loch-side setting.

 

Set off from the pier on a magical white boat ride to see the seal colony, or savour a romantic cruise against the dramatic castle backdrop.

 

The castle itself holds clan treasures like the Fairy Flag while the beautiful formal gardens are also worth exploring. Sir Walter Scott paid a visit to Dunvegan Castle in his day and the sheer impressiveness of this grand piece of Highland history is undiminished.
