The grave of Sir Fitzroy Donald MacLean, the 10th Baronet and 26th Chief of Clan MacLean, stands as a significant landmark in the quiet cemetery adjacent to Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull. Sir Fitzroy, who lived from 1866 to 1936, is revered for his monumental efforts in restoring the fortunes of his ancestral clan seat. His decision in 1910 to purchase the then-ruined Duart Castle, bringing it back into MacLean ownership after more than two centuries, marked a pivotal moment in the clan’s history and solidified his legacy.

Sir Fitzroy embarked upon an extensive and ambitious restoration project, painstakingly transforming the dilapidated fortress into the magnificent stronghold it is today. His vision and dedication ensured that Duart Castle would once again become a living testament to the Clan MacLean’s heritage, a place for gatherings and a symbol of their enduring spirit. It is a fitting tribute that his final resting place lies so close to the castle he so passionately revitalized, overlooking the waters and land that are integral to MacLean history.

This grave serves not just as a memorial to an individual, but as a symbol of the Clan MacLean’s resurgence and connection to their ancestral home. Visitors to Duart Castle often seek out his grave, paying respects to the Chief who, through his remarkable longevity and tireless work, re-established the MacLean presence at Duart and ensured the castle’s preservation for future generations, cementing his place as one of the most celebrated figures in the clan’s modern history.
