Old Photograph Duart Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Duart Castle, Isle of Mull, Scotland. This Scottish castle dates back to the 13th century and is the seat of Clan MacLean. It is also featured in the Disney Pixar Movie Brave. In 1350 Lachlan Lubanach Maclean of Duart, the 5th Clan Chief, married Mary, daughter of the John of Islay, Lord of the Isles and she was given Duart as her dowry. In 1647, Duart Castle was attacked and laid siege to by the Argyll government troops of Clan Campbell, but they were defeated and driven off by the Royalist troops of Clan MacLean. The castle was used as a location in the 1999 film Entrapment, starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The castle also features prominently in the 1971 film When Eight Bells Toll, starring Anthony Hopkins.
