Dunvegan Castle
This tower was similar in style to contemporary structures at Kisimul Castle and Caisteal Maol.The old tower was subsequently abandoned until the late 18th century, when the 23rd chief began the process of homogenising the appearance of the castle.This process continued under the 24th and 25th chiefs, with the addition of mock battlements and the new approach over a drawbridge from the east.[2] Dunvegan Castle occupies the summit of a rock some 50 feet (15 m) above sea level, which projects on to the eastern shore of a north-facing inlet or bay.On the eastern, landward side of the site is a partly natural ditch around 18 feet (5.5 m) deep.
