Caisteal Maol
Caisteal Maol (Castle Moil, Dunakin) is a ruined rectangular keep on a small headland beside the strait at Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye. The surviving masonry dates to the late 15th or early 16th century; it commanded the narrow channel between Skye and the mainland. The castle is now largely collapsed and stabilised as visible ruins on the grassy promontory above the water.

As it stood in 1513
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a rocky, grassy headland above a narrow channel, the castle was a simple three-storey rectangular stone keep of grey, roughly coursed masonry. In prime condition the keep presented continuous vertical outer walls with small window openings and a clear roofline over three internal levels; the main entrance level sat above the exposed rocky slope. The promontory drops steeply to rocky shorelines on three sides, with distant hills forming the backdrop.
