Background

History

The castle was once a massive fort described as a sea fortress, which allowed the Macdonald Lord of the Isles to dominate and control the sea traffic north and south through the Hebrides for more than four centuries. The castle remained a stronghold of the MacDonalds until they were subdued in the 17th century by the Clan Campbell.
