Tour Scotland travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Duntrune Castle on visit to the coast of Loch Crinan Canal in Argyll and Bute. Loch Crinan is a seawater loch on the West of Scotland, leading into the Sound of Jura. Duntrune is thought to be the oldest continuously occupied castle on mainland Scotland. It was originally built by the MacDougall clan in the 13th century, along with several other castles in the area, including the MacDougall stronghold of Dunollie Castle near Oban. Duntrune Castle was eventually taken by the Clan Campbell. In the 17th century the castle was besieged by the rival MacDonalds, under Alasdair Mac Colla. The Campbells sold Duntrune in 1792, to the Malcolms of Poltalloch. The castle is now owned by Robin Neill Malcolm, current clan chief of the Clan Malcolm. The gateposts of Skyfall lodge, James Bond's childhood home in the film of the same name, were modelled after those at Duntrune.
