Kilchurn Castle
Located on the banks of Loch Awe near Oban, Kilchurn Castle is an impressive Castle that was constructed in the mid-15th century. Its position at the head of the loch, with the imposing Ben Cruachan mountain in sight, has made it a popular subject for photographers and visitors alike. The castle was one of many built by the influential Campbells of Glenorchy, who wielded significant power over western Scotland during the late medieval era. From the castle, one can take in the breath-taking view of Loch Awe.
If travelling to or from Oban towards Glasgow or Edinburgh, you pass the castle, which is a nice way to break up the journey. From parking your car, you will have around a 10 to 15 minute walk to Kilchurn Castle.
