BRIEF
HISTORY
One of the most spectacular and unique sites on
the West Coast of Scotland, the position of Duart was well chosen.
The castle stands on a crag at the end of the peninsular jutting
out into the Sound of Mull at the intersection of the sound of Mull,
Loch Linne and the Firth of Lorne and within view of the neighbouring
castles of Dunstaffnage, Dunollie, Aros and

Ardtornish, part of a chain of castles up the Sound of
Mull to Mingary Castle. Duart was originally a rectangular wall enclosing
a courtyard. In 1350 Lachlan Lubanach, the 5th Chief, married Mary Macdonald,
the daughter of the Lord of the Isles and she was given Duart as her dowery.
