About
Caisteal Maol is a ruined castle located near the harbour of the village of Kyleakin, Isle of Skye, Scotland. It is also known as Castle Moil, Castle Maol, Dun Akyn, Dunakin Castle, Dun Haakon and Castle Dunakin.
Also known as Caisteal Maol, this ruined keep overlooks the narrows between Skye and the mainland at Kyleakin. Legend attributes it to 'Saucy Mary', a Norwegian princess who taxed ships passing through the strait. More likely built by the MacKinnon clan in the 15th century. The tower stood guard until the clan moved their seat. Now a picturesque ruin visible from the Skye Bridge.
