    Hiking

    The atmospheric remains of Fast Castle stand on a plateau surrounded by towering cliffs. Due to its natural defensive position, the castle likely started life as an Iron Age fort. However, the first mention of the castle was in 1333 and the first authoritative date is 1404. A modern bridge has replaced the drawbridge spanning the chasm between the promontory and the mainland.
