Kilchurn Castle can be found just off the A85 at the northernmost point of Loch Awe, more or less midway between the Trossachs National Park and the Highland coastal town of Oban. This is an area that’s every bit as spectacular as Skye in my opinion but it has even more interesting places to visit, with lochs, mountains and tourist attractions a-plenty in pretty much every direction you head to. The exact date the castle was built is unknown but it’s believed to have been constructed sometime in the mid-1400s by the 1st Lord of Glenorchy, Sir Colin Campbell.
