GHOST STORIES were told in the old byre...

Refreshments were provided, and guests sat at tables
while their ears strained to the ghostly fables.

Their eyes were wide to the flickering flame.
Cake in the tea-room will ne'er be the same!!

Both on SUNDAY and on MONDAY,

Sir Fitzroy's valet and housemaid escorted people around the castle,
explaining their daily schedules.


Sir Fitzroy was the 26th chief of the clan Maclean, who bought back the ruins of Duart in 1911, and lived there until 1936, when he died aged 101.
