Dunvegan Castle 01

Dunvegan Castle 01 - Castles - Scotland
Built on a rocky promantory on the Isle of Skye, Dunvegan Castle has been continuously occupied by the clan MacLeod since at least 1270. The castle has some interesting memorabilia of Bonnie Prince Charlie when he was taken from Uist in a small boat "over the sea to Skye" to escape back to France after his defeat at Culloden in 1746. The Skye Boat Song lyrics are "Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing: Over the sea to Skye: Onward the sailors cry: Carry the lad that's born to be king: Over the sea to Skye..." etc.
