Duntrune Castle, located on the rugged Argyll coastline of Scotland, is renowned as the oldest continuously occupied castle on mainland Scotland. Originally built by the MacDougall clan in the 13th century, it later became the seat of the Campbells of Duntroon. In 1792, the castle was sold to the Malcolms of Poltalloch, and it remains in their ownership today.

The castle’s rich history includes a notable event in the 17th century when it was besieged by the rival MacDonalds under Alasdair Mac Colla. Despite this tumultuous past, Duntrune Castle has been preserved and is currently a private residence. The estate also offers four holiday cottages for visitors seeking to experience its historic ambiance.
