UPDATE - October opening times

Until Sunday 18 October we'll be continuing our current opening hours:
Gardens open Tuesday - Sunday (closed Monday)
Museum open Wednesday - Saturday.

We're then closing for the season, to coincide with the start of the CalMac Ferries winter timetable. This is earlier than originally planned due to the Covid-19 situation. Our holiday lodges remain open all year however.

We're so sorry not to be extending the season until end November as we have done in the last couple of years. This has been a difficult year for everyone but we all look forward to brighter times ahead. Thank you for understanding!

Time for another image from our ‘Coastal Castles of Clan Donald’ exhibition: Ormacleit Castle in South Uist is one of the last castles to be built in Scotland – though it didn’t survive very long. It was completed in 1708 by Allan MacDonald of Clan Ranald. MacDonald spent time as a Jacobite exile in the French court at Versailles, and this has influenced the style of the castle building. The castle was destroyed by a kitchen fire in 1715. #ScotArchMonth #YCW2020
