It was in this 14th/15th century tower that Mary Queen of Scots was incarcerated in 1567 before escaping a year later. The castle is open to the public from April to July. Tickets include the ferry ride, which takes 10 minutes. The island is ideal for a picnic to sit back on the lawns and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
