Monkstadt, an old mansion in Kilmuir parish, Isle of Skye, Inverness-shire, near Columbkill Lake, 2½ miles S of Duntulm Castle. It was the seat of the Macdonalds, subsequent to their removal from Duntulm Castle; was occupied by Sir Alexander Macdonald at the time of Prince Charles Edward's disasters after the battle of Culloden; and was the place to which Flora Macdonald conducted the Prince, in the disguise of a maidservant, from the Outer Hebrides.
