Duart Castle

Duart Castle

There has been a castle on Duart Point since the 1200s, but much of the keep that forms the most impressive parts of the castle today date back to 1390 and to subsequent additions and alterations. The castle was confiscated from the MacLean family by the crown for their support of the Jacobites, and given to the Campbell Earls of Argyll. Abandoned after 1745, it later became a ruin until acquired by Fitzroy MacLean in 1911 and rebuilt as seen today. Many will recognise it as the home of the character played by Sean Connery in the film Entrapment. For more information and photographs, see the Craignure Feature Page.
