Dunvegan

This area is best known for its castle. Unlike the other castles passed on this trip, Dunvegan Castle is in good repair, still used and has been in the hands of one family, the Macleods, for over 700 years.

Macleod's Tables

The highest peaks in the immediate area are the flat topped hills, Healabhal Mhòr and Healabhal Bheag. This pair are often called Macleod's Tables, a description said to date from a time when the 8th Macleod Chief entertained some Edinburgh based guests there to prove a point.

Loch Dunvegan

Looking up the loch, from its head near the village car park.

From this point on our tour, the main road trends eastwards around Loch Bracadale.
