Duneagle Castle is the former home of young, headstrong Rose MacClare[2], and her parents, Hugh and Susan MacClare.

The castle is a grander step up from Downton Abbey, with deer stalking and fishing also on hand in the stunning surrounding Scottish countryside[2]. Rose also mentions that Duneagle engaged in pig farming when Downton decides to enter it.

In the 2012 Christmas Special, the Crawleys visit for their regular holiday. They have visited every year except for the years 1914 to 1918 because of the First World War, and in 1920 because of Lady Sybil's death.

Duneagle Castle was sold sometime after September 1921, as all the MacClare family fortune was gone.

Behind the scenes[]

  • Inveraray Castle, a castle in Argyll, Scotland was used as the filming location for Duneagle Castle.
  • For some scenes, including all those set in the ballroom, Wrotham Park was used; the same location had been used as the eponymous house of Lord Fellowes' previous peerage-based venture, Gosford Park.
