The story of Dunvegan Castle’s garden and woodlands began in the 17th century, although its development was halted by the social and economic upheavals before and after the Jacobite rebellion of 1745.
The last great planting was carried out in the late 1920’s by Sir Reginald MacLeod (27th Chief) but sadly much of this was lost to wind and animal depredation. In 1978 John MacLeod (29th Chief) decided to follow the example of his ancestors who had tried to create a garden at Dunvegan. Since then, there has been a considerable amount of replanting and investment to restore the gardens to their former glory. The present Chief, Hugh MacLeod, and his dedicated team of gardeners continue to build on this unique horticultural legacy.

Happy Monday!
