A charming old rustic castle! It’s a short walk getting here, and you may have to not have a fear of heights to actually get to the castle ruins themselves as there are some sharp drop offs right next to the path. Provides an excellent view of the Lagavulin distillery! Definitely worth visiting if you like old castle ruins, smelling the fresh ocean air, and living a little dangerously. :D

I never expected there is an old castle here. Nice to hike around this area.

This ruined castle at one time served as the naval fortress for the Lords of the Isles, a noble elite of the Clan Donald that ruled the western seaboard of Scotland, much of Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man until the late-15th century. Their fleet of single-masted galleys, called Birlinns, were harboured in Lagavulin Bay and their warrior crewmen were garrisoned near the castle.
