Duart Castle is a castle on the west coast of Scotland, located on the Isle of Mull within the council area of Argyll and Bute. The castle dates back to the 13th century. In 1691 the castle was surrendered to the Duke of Argyll and then abandoned in 1751. During the 20th century the castle has been restored, having been bought in 1911 by the then 26th Chief of the Clan. Image File history File links Duart Castle, Isle of Mull. ...
