A small 15th-century castle on an island in Loch Boisdale, held by the MacNeils. Most famous as a refuge for Bonnie Prince Charlie in June 1746 during his flight after Culloden, before Flora MacDonald helped him escape to Skye. The ruins are fragmentary and only accessible by boat. One of the most remote castle sites in Scotland.
