Duart Castle, seat of Clan MacLean for hundreds of years, stands on Duart point, and makes a striking first impression on travellers coming to the Island from Oban.

The castle is a spit from Craignure, just off the A849 heading for Fionnphort, and boasts an excellent tea room which reputedly bakes to the recipe's of Lady Elizabeth herself.

The castle has featured in a number of films, most prominantly 'When Eight Bells Toll' and 'Entrapment', but it can also be seen briefly in the background in the Powell and Pressburger classic, 'I Know where I'm Going'.

The photos on this site were taken with a variety of simple cameras, and are not intended to be of artistic value. The site has been put together to reflect the things I have found most captivating about the Island, and I hope you find something in it that you can also connect to. If you would like to use any of the images, please feel free, though I would appreciate it if you could give this site credit for the image, and if appropriate, provide a link to us.
