Skye's Ruins and Castles

The Isle of Skye's landscape is defined by centuries of clan history and ancient geology. This collection features Dunvegan Castle, the 800-year-old seat of Clan MacLeod, alongside the dramatic coastal ruins of Duntulm and Dunscaith. Explore the 19th-century remains of Armadale Castle’s manor house and the medieval tower of Castle Maol in Kyleakin. The list also includes the Jurassic-era dinosaur footprints at Staffin, preserved in the sandstone of the Trotternish coast and visible at low tide.
