Exploring the roots of the West Highland White Terrier

Poltalloch, located in Scotland, which feeds directly into the Atlantic
Ocean. It is more of an estate than a village, with about half a dozen
houses scattered alongside the large estate of the Malcolm family. This is
where Colonel Malcolm lived with his "Poltalloch
Eleven" of Westie's when he organized the official recognition of the
Westie breed in 1905.
If
you went to Poltalloch today you will see the ruins of the mansion, and,
further down the road, a private drive leading to Duntrune Castle. Colonel
Malcolm's grandson, Robin Malcolm, currently lives in Duntrune Castle. He is
the current chief of the Clan Malcolm. Unfortunately there are no Westie's
living there.
Duntrune Castle dates back to the 1th century. If you want to
visit, Robin Malcolm rents out cottages on a weekly basis... :)-
