Historical & Heritage Sites
No trip to the beautiful Isle of Sye would be complete without a visit to Dunvegan Castle and Gardens, the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and home to the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for nearly 800 years.
Established in 1965, the museum is a collection of preserved thatched cottages. See the way the islanders lived in the late 1800s and their efficient, but cosy dwellings. Molding perfectly with the environment and suitably attuned to the often harsh climate they are a fascinating place to visit.
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.
