Dating back to the 16th century, the magnificent Saddell Castle hides a turbulent past, having been home to various members of the MacDonald clan.

The castle was built between 1508 - 1512 using stones from the ruined Saddell Abbey nearby. The MacDonald lords took over the castle from the Earl of Arran and made some alterations. For example, a trap door was added to the main entrance passage. When opened, it would send a poor soul to dungeons from which there was no exit!
