The Clan Donald were an influential family in the Scottish Highlands. Their heritage dates back to the mid-13th century. They held the title of “Lord of the Isles” until 1495. The former 20,000 acre estate of the McDonalds was abandoned in 1925 and is now the Clan Donald Skye near Armadale. This tourist attraction features gardens, walking paths, the Armadale Castle, a museum and this restaurant and café in the old stables.
