Armadale Castle, the seat of Lord Macdonald, in Sleat parish, Isle of Skye, on the S coast, 7 miles E of Sleat Point. It stands on a gentle slope, amid well-wooded grounds; is a Gothic edifice of 1815, after a design by Gillespie Graham; has an octagonal tower on each side of the doorway; contains an elegant portrait of Somerled, Lord of the Isles, in stained glass, by Egginton of Birmingham; and commands an extensive view of the sublimely picturesque seaboard of Glenelg, Knoidart, Morar, and Arasaig.
