Tips

What is now a posh hotel and B&B was once a castle (built probably after 1569) built possibly to defend the occupiers against the perennially grumpy MacGregor clan.

Although having said that, apparently Rob Roy (a MacGregor himself) sheltered here. According to legend anyway. He seems to have sheltered in an awful lot of places hereabouts, including a cave just to the north by the chore of the Loch.

Given the choice between a cave and a luxurious castle, I know which I'd choose.
