| DUNTULM CASTLE | Duntulm Castle | Alexander MacDonald Factor Mr Munro Innkeeper Lauchlin Mackay Crofter |
004 | This name applies to the ruins of an old Castle situated on a high cliff overhanging the seashore near the most northern extremity of this Island. It is said to have been formerly occupied by Danish or Norwegian Pirates, and by them first built. But the Lords or Chiefs of the Clan MacDonald are said to have pulled down what remains of the original building and in its stead to erect the strong and stately edifice of Duntulm Castle. The interior of the building is now nearly all level with the ground and can only be indistinctly traced but a great portion of the outer, or courtyard wall is still standing to a height of several feet. It has evidently been a place of considerable pretensions to resistance in its day, from its total inaccessibility by sea, and the fact of its having been guarded on the land side by a ditch or moat which is now almost level with the surrounding surface. It is not known in the district when it was first erected nor yet when last occupied. Vague traditions are all that is known about it in this part of Island. Captain Fraser proptr [proprietor] |

Ordnance Survey - Inverness county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Inverness, which is in the north of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
