I copied this from the MacCallum Malcolm Clan Society web page:Duntrune Castle is the home of Robin Neill Malcolm, the current chief of Clan MacCallum/Malcolm. Duntrune came into the possession of the Malcolm family in 1792 when it was purchased by Neil Malcolm, Twelfth Laird of Poltalloch.It is claimed that Duntrune is the oldest, continuously inhabited building in Scotland.
It is a Norman-style, stone castle from the twelfth century and is located on Loch Crinan and looks out on the Sound of Jura.
Duntrune is still a private residence and is not open to the public.
Follow this link to learn more aobut the history and the ghost.

Just curious if the Chief's family has been the only residents of Duntrune, & if you know how long?
I ask because Cawdor has been continuously inhabited for over 600 years by the Thanes of Cawdor.
