What is recorded here
Mull's western edge is a busy seam where freshwater, saltwater and human memory collide. Duart Castle and Morvern give that seam a shape, while the Sound of Mull remains the living water between them.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Duart Castle: Morvern, Sound of Mull as Smack (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Duart Castle was originally built in the 13th century by the MacDougall clan and later held by the Macleans from the 15th century. It is important as a historic stronghold associated with the Clan Maclean and as a symbol of Scottish clan heritage.
