Kilchurn Castle

Time away from Dunstaffanage marina for us to visit Loch Awe and admire Kilchurn Castle in its beautiful winter landscape.

The castle was built by Sir Colin Campbell in the mid 1400s on Kilchurn island in Loch Awe. It was the main stronghold of the Campbell Clan for three centuries. Mighty Ben Cruchan in the background. It was finally destroyed by lightning in 1760. Nowadays it can be reached by foot.
