Historical & Heritage Sites
Enjoying a spectacular setting within the Sleat Peninsula, the 40 acre Woodland Garden is set around the ruins of Armadale Castle. The warm, generally frost free climate of the west coast of Scotland allows these historic sheltered gardens to flourish.
Discover the history of the West Highlands of Scotland at Mallaig, once Europe's busiest herring port. Exhibits tell the story of the districts of Knoydart, Morar and Arisaig, known in the Gaelic language as 'An Garbh Chriochan' (The Rough Bounds).
You can explore almost every part of the castle from the banqueting hall to the bedrooms. You'll be following in the footsteps of many a warrior from the Vikings to James Bond, from Jacobites to Hollywood's 'Highlanders'.
The monument is dedicated to the clansmen who fought and died for Bonnie Prince Charlie. Set amid spectacular scenery at the head of Loch Shiel, its visitor centre has displays on the Prince's campaign. Keep an eye out for the viaduct that features in the Harry Potter movies.
