Duntrune Castle
Duntrune Castle near Kilmartin in mid-Argyll is a medieval castle of at least twelfth-century origin on a rocky promontory at the head of Loch Crinan with views over the Sound of Jura, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited castles in Scotland, home of the Malcolm family since 1792. The castle incorporates Norman-period fabric within a building substantially modified over eight centuries of continuous occupation and adaptation. The surrounding area of mid-Argyll around Kilmartin Glen is one of the most archaeologically significant landscapes in Scotland, containing an exceptional density of Neolithic and Bronze Age cairns, standing stones, stone circles and cup-and-ring marked rock outcrops constituting one of the finest prehistoric landscapes in Britain. The Kilmartin Museum provides interpretation of this remarkable heritage.
