Dunvegan Castle is on the north west coast of the Isle of Skye, on Loch Dunvegan. The castle has been here for some 800 years, and is the home of the Clan McLeod, it is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland. It is also home to the precious Fairy Flag of Dunvegan, the most treasured possession of the Clan, and dates from between the 4th and 7th centuries A.D. Unfortunately we were not able to take any photos inside the castle, but it has a very family feel to the place.
Mike and I spent a good couple of hours ferreting through the castle and gardens on a beautiful spring afternoon. The view across the Loch was just amzing from the windows of the castle. We then took a walk through the gardens, all the spring bulbs were out and we found this beautiful waterfall in one corner.
