ARMADALE CASTLE, GARDENS & MUSEUM

Armadale Castle was the seat of the MacDonald of Sleat, a branch of the very powerful Donald clan. It was purchased by the Clan Donald Land Trust in 1971. The Museum of the Isles traces 1,500 years of clan history in the Islands and Highlands, with portraits of great chiefs, carved stones, reconstructions and a wealth of information in seven modern and educational galleries. There are pleasant gardens, where many walks are possible.
