An imposing ruin of what was once a formidable fortress overlooking the Inner Sound and the Applecross Peninsula. There's not really enough left to get any idea of the layout, but you can appreciate the scale. We went on a calm, sunny day, and the pebble beach below the castle was wonderfully tranquil. There's an isolated cottage above the castle, and a tin hut on the beach, and a large (presumably) fisherman's store shed. The end of the beach has a tiny man-made sheltered landing area.

If you like ruined castles then this is a must see, simply for the stunning location. It is just one big wild chunk of rock and vegetation but it's beautiful. There's a small area to park on the road side and then you call follow a path down to the castle itself. It's fenced in so you can't get too close but it's not a problem. You can then follow the path right down to a pebble beach and look out towards Skye. A great place to spend some time when visiting Raasay.
