In 1991 Sir Lachlan Maclean, the present Clan Chief engaged Professor Sir James Dunbar Naismith to repair the castle. The main repairs were completed in 1995, but work on the castle still continues.
Today the castle is open to the public, for which there is an entrance charge. Visitors may walk through the dungeons and state rooms at their leisure, ending on the top of the keep where it is easy to appreciate the strategic site of the castle.
Below the castle Historic Scotland have designated a site of archaeological importance to mark the spot where the Swann and two of her sister ships sank in 1653.
They had been sent by Cromwell to capture the 10 year old chief who, fortunately, had been removed to the Treshnish Isles for safety.
