Duntulm Castle
Duntulm Castle is a ruined medieval stronghold on a basalt promontory on the north coast of the Trotternish peninsula, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Built from the 14th century and improved through the 16th–17th centuries, it was the 17th‑century seat of the chiefs of Clan MacDonald of Sleat and is a scheduled monument.

As it stood in 1650
The shape it held in its prime.
Duntulm occupies a narrow basalt promontory projecting into the sea, with an irregular low curtain wall clustered along the cliff edge. Remains of a former tower survive as vaulted lower walls once rising to four storeys; a small rectangular stone house sits within the inner ward. A defensive ditch cuts the landward neck of the headland and the only access is through a narrow cleft in the sea cliff. Dark basalt stone and grassy slopes surround the exposed seaward face and rocky foreshore below.
