Duart Castle Mull
Product Code:
DH1416
Duart Castle is situated on the east coast of the Isle of Mull near Torosay Castle. The name Duart comes from the Gaelic words "Dubh Ard" (black point).
This castle dates from the 13th century and was probably built for the MacDougalls. In the late 14th century, it became the seat of the MacLean Clan when the tower house was added. The family left the castle in the latter part of the 17th century when they retreated to the Treshnish Isles. Subsequently, Government troops took the castle and held it for some years.
