History of DunveganBuilt on a rock once surrounded entirely by salt water, it is unique in Scotland as the only house of such atiquity to have retained its family and its roof throughout the centuries, surviving the extremes of feast and famine, the intermittent periods of warring with neighbouring clans, and the immense changes of, social, political and economic life through which the Western Highlands and Islands have passed. The clan MacLeod moto is HOLD FAST and throughout the centuries their chiefs have endeavoured to do so. Today the castle is the home to the 29th chief of MacLeod, John MacLeod of MacLeod. Among all the historic houses of Scotland there is none that for sheer manifold fascination overtops Dunvegan Castle it is simply the most romantic and the most historic, in a lochside setting where nature is still in control.
