I would recommend putting The Old Inn - into google maps rather than Castle Stalker, as google maps lead us down a side road you couldn’t park down but you can park in the cafe car park. We came around sunset and would recommend stopping if you love a good view! Really pretty

A lovely little place, worth a visit. Park at the cafe and walk down to the lock by the road as you cannot park anywhere down there. Looks best at high tide but even in rain and low tide we were amazed by it. Unfortunately it was not open because of the virus so we need to go back to have a peak inside another time.

Who wouldn’t want to visit Castle Aaargh from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Beautiful area and looks exactly as in the movie minus the French people. Peaceful and easy to get to.

Castle Stalker Means Hunter or Falconer. The island castle is one of the best-preserved medieval tower-houses to survive in western Scotland. The castle is a four storey, rectangular tower house. The ground floor comprised of two cellars and a pit prison. The original castle was a small fort, built around 1320 by Clan MacDougall who were then Lords of Lorn. It is believed that they built the present castle in the 1440s. It was lost to the Campbells in 1620 and remained in their hands for almost three centuries. Castle Stalker remained in use as a residence until circa-1800 when the Campbells built a new house on the mainland. By 1831 the castle had lost its roof and was drifting into ruin. In 1908 it was finally recovered by the Stewarts when it was purchased by Charles Stewart of Achara. In 1965 it was purchased by Lieutenant Colonel Stewart Allward who started a decade long restoration project. There is a limited number of tours to the castle each year.

Found this castle by accident whilst driving round the Loch. For the best views drive past the castle up to the restaurant on the hill. Sadly can't get to this castle but it is a lovely view sat on its own little island
