Duntulm Castle
Duntulm Castle stands ruined on the north coast of Trotternish, on the Isle of Skye. The castle was built in the 14th and 15th centuries, but abandoned around 1732.
The castle is reputedly haunted by the apparition of a woman crying in the ruins. Also the sounds of the tormented shouting of Hugh MacDonald, who was incarcerated in the dungeons, have been heard eminating from the ground.
