Duntulm Castle - Caisteal Dùn Thuilm

Duntulm Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Dùn Thuilm) is a 14th and 15th century ruined castle on the north coast of Trotternish peninsula. This is the northernmost peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach, Alba). This area was the scene of conflict between the MacLeod and Macdonald clans. During the 17th century the castle was the seat of the chiefs of Clan MacDonald of Sleat. After 1732 the castle fell into ruin after being abandoned, when a new residence was built about five miles to the south.
