Castle itself isn't so exciting but the area is good for walking. The seafood cabin nearby is the only place for food in the area serving delicious seafood.

Unfortunately access inside and on top of the castle is currently closed, possibly due to covid situation. You can however roam the grounds freely and still get up and close to the castle. Still worth the visit despite the limitations, the views out to sea are amazing.

Great views. Castle remaining is really impresive and you can see isle of Arran across. Its about 5-10 minutes walk from the car park. There is highly rated fish smokery/restaurant on the right of the castle

Parked at the Claonaig ferry car park at the start of the road and cycled out to the castle. Great views of Arran on the cycle and you pass a lovely sandy beach. Skipness Castle was lovely to see. You are able to go inside, there are some information boards up and the views from the top landing are fantastic. You can also make your way over to the ruin and cemetery that you can see if you want to explore further.

I was surprised at the size of its curtain wall it sits on a lovely beech couldn’t get in to the tower as it was closed it is a 7 mile drive from the main road
