It has always been an ambition of mine to visit this beautiful castle and in August this year I was able to do just that, and was not disappointed. The weather wasn’t brilliant and the tide was out, but that didn’t really matter – I was there!! The outside of the castle is very photogenic and in a stunning setting... more

Well worth a visit, it’s been rebuilt but that doesn’t detract from the experience. Stunning location and a nice place to stop on the way to the Isle of Skye. more

The castle had really detailed displays and guides on hand to discuss the history and meaning of some of the features/displays... more
