Duntulm, Crofting township in Highland, Scotland
Duntulm extends along the northwest coast of the Trotternish peninsula, comprising two sections: Shulista in the north and South Duntulm.
The township developed from a Pictish fortress into a Viking settlement named David's Fort, later becoming a stronghold of the MacDonald clan until 1730.
The traditional crofting system in Duntulm involves small-scale farming on 2-5 hectare plots, with shared grazing areas maintained by multiple families.
The township sits 24 miles north of Portree along the A855 road, offering various accommodation options from shepherd huts to traditional crofting cottages.
The coastline contains the Duntulm Formation, a Middle Jurassic geological feature containing 170-million-year-old sauropod fossils protected by conservation orders.
