The name of Dunvegan Castle, which is located on the Isle of Skye, is known to many from the movie "Highlander", as the ancestral castle of Duncan MacLeod. The amazingly beautiful island off the west coast of Scotland is worth a visit in itself, but it is no less interesting to see the castle of the 14th century. The castle looks as harsh and impregnable as the Highlander itself, and inside it there are many cozy, beautifully decorated rooms.

The current owner of the castle, Hugo Macleod, belongs to a famous clan, but most likely is not immortal.

However, it was not in vain that we made a remark that only its name is known, since the filming took place in another castle, also Scottish - Eilean Donan, which in the 13th century was built on a tiny island in the middle of a lake.
