Armadale Castle, located in the Scottish village of Armadale on the Isle of Skye, was built between 1790 and the mid-19th century. It was once the residence of Clan Donald, who settled in Skye in the 15th century and established their main residence in Armadale from the mid-17th century. Today, the castle houses the Museum of the Isles, offering visitors a glimpse into the history and culture of the region.

The Gardens of Armadale Castle

The Armadale Castle is surrounded by expansive gardens, many of which date back to 1790, the year of the original building's construction. These gardens host a variety of plant species, many of which were planted in the 1870s. Visitors to the castle can enjoy a leisurely stroll through these gardens, taking in the beauty of the flora and the tranquility of the surroundings.
