This ruined castle was built in the 13th Century by the Bishop of Moray. It was rumoured to be linked to the shore with a land bridge which was covered when water levels were increased to help with logging in the area. Ospreys have nested here on occasion.

Sections of the ride are steep and full of gravel, so riding uphill can be a struggle. There is a narrow path, which meets up with the main path again, which is easier to ride.

Can be nice to swim out to the castle for a quick explore. Or just swim around the castle island.
