In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Dunscaith like this:
Dunscaith, a ruined baronial fortalice on the W coast of Sleat parish, Isle of Skye, Inverness-shire. It belonged to the Barons of Sleat, and seems, from remains of a prison and of a draw-well, to have been a place of considerable strength.
Dunscaith is now part of HIGHLAND Council. Click here for graphs and data of how HIGHLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dunscaith itself, go to Statistics.
