One of the most recognised icons of Scotland, the Castle is situated at the confluence of three sea lochs, Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Ash.
The original castle was destroyed by government ships during the Jacobite Rebellions in the 18th Century. When it was restored an archway bridge was added and the Castle is one of Scotland’s most visited monuments featuring in films such as Highlander and James Bond. The stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie, it is claimed that Robert the Bruce sheltered there in 1306. The main ceiling beams in the Banqueting Hall are of Douglas Fir shipped from British Columbia, Canada as a gift from the Clan Macrae.
