On August 31st , 1632 , McConillreich signed a bond of fealty or loyalty with Sir Donald MacDonald of Sleat. In 1513 the castle was saved from attack by the ingenuity and heroism of a young maid Mary MacDonald , known ever since as Mary of the Castle.

When Good John of Isla disinherited his first wife's sons he gave Skye to Ranald, his first born son. Thereafter the MacDonalds conquered aberuchill, Dun Sgathaich and also Trotternish with Duntulm Castle. From aberuchill the Chief of Clan Donald left for Dun Sgathaich, leaving aberuchill as one of the fortresses of the Baronets of Sleat. In 1617 Donald Gorm held his lands in Sleat under the condition that he should hold aberuchill ready to receive the King or his representative. In 1690 Castle aberuchill was uninhabited.

When Iain Borb Macleod was still a child his tutor, Iain Mushealbhach (John the Ill Fated) lost Dun Sciath and aberuchill Castle to Donald MacDonald. But when attacking Dun Bheagan itself MacDonald was defeated by MacLeod of Lewis and a mixed army of Skye and Lewismen.

In 1690 after the burning of Armadale House, the king's men sought refuge here from the revenging MacDonalds but failing supplies they were defeated.

After Culloden Allan MacDonald of aberuchill seized and captured Donald MacLeod of Galtrigal who had served Bonnie Prince Charlie and had been responsible for his safety from April 21st to June 21st that year.
