021 | This name applies to a very ancient building said to have been built in the ninth century it is situated on a rock which is said to be the site of an ancient tower of which there are many in this parish, and are commonly called "Duns" commanding a fine view of Dunvegan Loch. A portion consisting of a very high tower was added 400 years later by Alastair Crotach (or the humpbacked). These two are conjoined by means of a long low edifice by Rory Moir who was Knighted in the days of James the sixth. The entrance was of old from the sea side by a very long and narrow stair but a new approach has of late been formed by throwing a bridge across a chasm which now renders it of easy access. There is an excellent well situated in the narrow passage leading from the sea, the property of McLeod of McLeod |
