The ruins of Castle Maol, Kyleakin Isle of Skye Inverness-shire Scottish Highlands SCO 2218
Caisteal Maol is Kyleakin's own castle, the stumpy remains of a keep built in the 1400s. Not much is left of it today, parts of the ruin collapsed in 1949, and there was another collapse in 1989: what is left has been consolidated and secured for the future. In 1951 repairs on the outer face of one of the castle walls revealed a hoard of coins hidden between two stones. SCO 2218
