Dunvegan Castle
( Sightseeing / Castles & Forts )
A Karen Brown Recommendation
|
Dunvegan
Scotland United Kingdom |
Just to the north of Dunvegan is Dunvegan Castle, the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland and the home of the MacLeod family for over 700 years. It stands amidst hills and moorlands guarding the entrance to a sheltered bay. After parking your car walk through rhododendron-filled gardens to the fortress. The castle’s 15th-century section is known as the Fairy Tower after the threadbare Fairy Flag that hangs in one of the chambers. Legend has it that this yellow silk flag with crimson spots is the consecrated banner of the Knights Templar, taken as a battle prize from the Saracens. It is said to have the magical properties to produce victory in battle, the birth of sons, and plentiful harvests. Other relics include items relating to Bonnie Prince Charlie. During the summer you can take boat excursions to view the nearby seal colonies.
