The beautiful and
somewhat eerie ruins of Kilchurn Castle lie on the northeastern shore of
Loch Awe in Scotland. Its construction dating back to the 15th century,
Kilchurn Castle was originally built on a tiny island. The loch’s water
levels were changed in 1817 causing the island to connect to the
mainland. While the oldest part of Kilchurn Castle was built in 1450 by
Sir Colin Campbell, subsequent residents continued to add on to the
castle until 1681. The Kilchurn Castle ruins are open to the public only
during the summer months, via the A85 road.
