Moy Castle, at Lochbuie on Mull, has a prison shaped like a bottle.

The only way into the pit prison at Moy Castle is a hatch in the floor of the first-floor hall. The pit is 3.3 metres deep and narrows towards its neck, which is why it is called a bottle-dungeon.

What Duart Castle looks like in autumn.

The seat of the Clan Maclean on a rocky point over the Sound of Mull, a medieval keep restored from ruin after 1911.

From the magazine4 hours agoThe printed copy of Issue 02Issue 02Spring / Summer 2021

Duart Castle, on its high cliff on the Isle of Mull, was wholly rebuilt from scant ruins in the early 20th century.

Its name comes from the Gaelic Dubh Ard, meaning 'black point', and it is the seat of the MacLeans of Duart. Like Eilean Donan Castle, Duart was rebuilt during a wave of international enthusiasm for restoring the seats of Scotland's clans, and it is once again the spiritual home of Clan MacLean. The writer and presenter David C. Weinczok calls it perhaps the single most impressive castle in all of Argyll. The best first sight of it is from the ferry: as the boat from Oban nears Craignure, the castle slowly comes into view, perched like an eagle on its cliff.
