Located on the peaceful shores of Loch Creran, Barcaldine is a stunning ancient castle which is now used as a hotel. Even if you don't want to stay the night it's an interesting place to explore from the outside, or grab a coffee.

The tower house castle was built by Sir Duncan Campbell at the beginning of the 17th century. According to legend, Sir Dunanc Campbell's ghost still haunts the castle, looking for the man who murdered him.
