Armadale Castle, Country house and castle ruins in Sleat, Scotland

The remaining structure of Armadale Castle stands on a site overlooking the Sound of Sleat, surrounded by 40 acres of woodland gardens and paths.

The original mansion from 1790 was expanded in 1815 with a Tudor-Gothic styled addition designed by architect James Gillespie Graham for the MacDonald family.

The Museum of the Isles, located within the Clan Donald Centre at Armadale Castle, presents exhibits about the history of the Highland clans and the Lordship of the Isles.

Visitors can explore the gardens throughout the year, with the museum offering guided tours and educational programs about Scottish Highland heritage and clan system.

The castle's marble staircase and grand halls, designed in 1815, represented the shift from traditional Highland architecture to nineteenth-century British country house styles.
