| Some Info on Dunvegan Castle.... |
 |
| I have found the clans Crest or Coat of Arms which I have put to the side bar here. The Family motto is "Hold Fast". The Clan MacLeod is descended from the Norse kings of Man and the North Isles. The clan is comprised of two main branches, the MacLeods of Skye and the MacLeods of Lewis. The Mac- Leods of Skye established the seat at Dunvegan Castle which remains the Chief's seat to this day. The current chief is Chief John MacLeod of MacLeod. I thank him for his help and his permission for letting me give you a link for the castle's official web page. |
| Here are the other links. All rooms link so you don't need to go backwards. |

| This is me and my grandmother. Her name is Gladys MacLeod (now Sherwood by marriage). She is the granddaughter of Sarah and James who came here to America through Canada after leaving the castle. We took this picture at her home in Florida. I know it is not a great picture, but we look more alike than me and my mother. lol She truly is the REAL MacLeod. |

| Please be patient while this page loads. The pics are worth the wait. |
| Above is a pic of my mom's shawl in our clan tartan. On it is a clan broach with the emblem of the clan, the head of a Bull with crossed broad swords. To the right are a few really great pics I found of the castle to share with you. |
| The Castle is filled with history from old and new. The Fairy Flag that was carried by soldiers during WWII is still there with one more wish to be granted to the clan. The large tower on the end is the Fairy Tower. It was built during the reign of the 8th chief, Alasdair Crotach. There is also a horn that holds 1 1/2 bottles of claret that must be downed in one draft without setting down or falling down as part of the rite of passage for every MacLeod Chief. |
| If you wish to find out more about the Clan MacLeod or the castle itself, please go to the Tinker's Tower before you leave and click on the Castle Icon. This will take you to the official page of Dunvegan Castle. Thank you Chief John!!! |
