Over 700 years of history
Duart is a 13th Century fortress, and home of the Clan Maclean, and enjoys one of the most spectacular and unique positions on the West Coast of Scotland.
The present Clan Chief, Sir Lachlan Maclean, wanted to make the story of Duart Castle more widely available, and to show potential visitors the beauty and drama of both the Castle and the island of Mull, on which it is situated.
The story of Duart Castle is also the story and history of the Clan Maclean, and Sir Lachlan Maclean wanted to convey some of that information to a wider audience.

In order to attract more European visitors to the castle, the website is now also available in French, and German, proving that website accessibility is not just about catering to guests with specific requirements, but also to non-English-speaking guests.
