Dunollie Museum, Castle and Grounds

Museums
Oban
Argyll

Visit this small ruin perched on a hill near Oban which was once a formidable stronghold of Clan MacDougall.

For more that 1000 years, the Clan Chiefs and Lords of Lorn ruled large areas of Argyll from Dunollie. Today, it remains the seat and ancestral home of Clan MacDougall.

The Museum, Castle and Grounds provide an exciting journey of discovery, where visitors of all ages can learn about the history of the castle, the noble MacDougall family and life on the west coast of Scotland through exciting exhibitions and displays.

Discover the 1745 Laird's House which holds the fascinating history of the the MacDougall Family and Servants Quarters, including the Nationally renound Hope MacDougall Collection. Explore Dunollie's enchanting woodland spaces; Woodland Trail, World of Trees, the spectacular Willow Hall and mischevious Faerie Garden. Visit the Castle Ruin and take in stunning views across Oban Bay. Have a peek inside the Weaving Cottage to see a 19th century loom at work. Relax and absorb the atmosphere as you enjoy delicious homemade soup, sandwiches and cakes and shop for beautiful locally made gifts.
