Kilchurn Castle

Kilchurn Castle, is a dilapidated edifice perched on a rocky promontory at the northeastern tip of Loch Awe, found in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. This castle's origins trace back to the mid-15th century when it was established as the stronghold of the Campbells of Glenorchy. Over the following century and a half, both the castle and the Campbell territories in the vicinity underwent significant expansions. However, as the Campbells ascended to the rank of Earls of Breadalbane and relocated to Taymouth Castle, Kilchurn Castle fell into disuse and disrepair, eventually falling into ruins by 1770. Presently, the castle is under the stewardship of Historic Environment Scotland and welcomes the public during the summer months.
