Duart Castle, Medieval castle on Isle of Mull, Scotland
The stone fortress stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the Sound of Mull, featuring defensive walls and a square tower reaching 40 meters high.
The MacDougall clan constructed the original stronghold in 1201, which later became the primary residence of Clan MacLean through a marriage alliance in 1350.
The Great Hall displays regimental colors of the World War I Canadian Expeditionary Force 236th Battalion, representing the connection between Scottish and Canadian military heritage.
Visitors can access the castle from April through October, with guided tours explaining the architecture and restoration work completed in the early 20th century.
The castle contains a hidden dungeon beneath its floors where, according to records, prisoners were kept without food until their eventual demise.
