What century was the castle that required repairs to the seat by John MacLeod of MacLeod first built?
Dunvegan Castle Dunvegan Castle is located 1 mi to the north of Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland. It is the seat of the MacLeod of MacLeod, chief of the Clan MacLeod. Probably a fortified site from the earliest times, the castle was first built in the 13th century and developed piecemeal over the centuries. In the 19th century the whole was remodelled in a mock-medieval style. The castle is built on an elevated rock overlooking an inlet on the eastern shore of Loch Dunvegan, a sea loch.
Castletown, Isle of Man Castletown (Manx: "Balley Chashtal" , pronounced ] ) is a town geographically within the parish of Arbory and Castletown of the Isle of Man but administered separately. Lying at the south of the island, it was the Manx capital until 1869. The centre of town is dominated by Castle Rushen, a well-preserved medieval castle, originally built for a Viking king.
