The old MacDonald seat is now a romantic ruin set in woodland gardens, with trees from several continents. The Museum of the Isles covers about 1,500 years of Highland history, from the Picts to the Clearances. The Stables Café is on site, so it is an easy first or last stop if you are crossing from Mallaig.
