This was a great place to visit, we spent 3 hours on the island and it was great!! Bring a packed lunch and a good pair of hiking shoes.

Didn't actually enter the castle as it's signposted "No Access" but the rest of the settlement and the island is fascinating

Well preserved 17th century castle. Not fenced off at all so you can go down into the dungeon or walk up the spiral staircase to the top and go in all the rooms. Empty inside.

If you have a chance to visit via Clyde Charters, do it. It's a lovely wee island with plenty to explore. Do wear walking gear and not flipflops though!
