Image:Scotland_Skye_Trotternish_2.jpg '''Duntulm''' is a small village on the Scottish island of Skye. It is situated north of Uig. The village is most notable for the coastal scenery coupled with the ruins of Duntulm_Castle, which affords stunning views of the Outer_Hebrides. Windswept and remote, Duntulm does contain one hotel directly facing the castle and the sea (but unfortunately, this was closed in Spring 2006). However, there are the Duntulm Coastguard Cottages nearby, and the dispersed settlements in the area offer alternative accommodations. Single track roads prevail in this Highland region. This north-west tip of Skye is remote but glorious and has earned praise from travellers and walkers for some time; the trek to Rubha Hunish is worthwhile. An eloquent passage by Alexander Smith (1865) from "A Summer in Skye" still reverberates: "Through the window I beheld the spectral castle, the sea upon which the light was dying…and seated here in the remotest corner of Skye…girt by walls of cliffs and the sounding sea…I confess to have been conscious of a pleasant feeling of strangeness, of removal from all customary conditions of thought and locality, which I like at times to recall and enjoy over again."
