Duntrune Castle: Scotland’s Oldest Inhabited Fortress
Guarded by proud stag statues and overlooking Loch Crinan, Duntrune Castle stands as a living relic of Scotland’s turbulent past.
Believed to have been built in the 12th century by the MacDougall clan and later held by the Campbells, this ancient fortress is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland.
From legendary battles to ghostly tales—including the story of a one-handed piper who warned of an enemy attack—Duntrune’s stone walls have witnessed centuries of clan warfare, royal struggles, and Highland heritage.
A timeless reminder that history still lives among us.
