Kilchurn Castle

Kilchurn Castle sits on the banks of Loch Awe in the southeastern part of the Scottish Highlands. It was built in the fourteenth century and abandoned after a fire caused by lightning in the eighteenth century. Currently owned by Historic Scotland, a public body of the Scottish Government, though the castle is in ruins it is one of the most beautiful ones that we saw (and there were many) mainly due to the beautiful location on the shores of Loch Awe and Ben Cruachan. To see the castle one has to wonder far from the road and across the meadow that though fenced, there is a ladder to make access easier.
