Kilchurn Castle

Posted by sipper 24 August 2010

A beautiful 15th century castle ruin which sits beside the impressive waters of Loch Awe and nestles between the magnificent mountains of Argyll and Bute. My husband and I visited on a July evening this year and were lucky enough to share the experience with no more than the sheep and swooping swallows. We were free to explore the grounds, read the
information, climb the castle towers and take in the breathtaking views at
our leisure.

Loch Awe, Argyll & Bute. Access on foot from Dalmally or boat from Loch Awe pier. Both on A85 road.
