Here are some lovely snaps from the past month—our gardens are blooming with daffodils and tulips! The seals have been putting on a great show too, with the castle making the perfect backdrop! The RHS #dunvegancastle VisitScotland

Today marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day in Europe. During the war, Dame Flora (28th Chief) welcomed Allied servicemen who came to stay at Dunvegan. Some MacLeods among them told her they kept photographs of the Fairy Flag as good luck talismans when on active duty. #VE80

This time of year brings a quiet kind of beauty to the gardens, as bluebells unfurl across the woodland floor. Their brief, delicate bloom is a reminder to slow down and take in the season's fleeting wonders. The RHS #dunvegancastle #bluebells

Scotland’s Deputy First Minister, Kate Forbes, visited Dunvegan Castle recently. Estate Director Hugh MacLeod gave her a tour. She was impressed by all the changes due to the significant investment the estate has made since her last visit in 2018. #DunveganCastle #VisitScotland

Behind the scenes, our skilled castle and maintenance teams were hard at work this week cleaning the historic lantern in the Entrance Hall. The task required accessing the roof and using a winch system to gently lower the lantern. #dunvegancastle
