    Tips

    July 1, 2020

    Skipness Castle is a striking medieval fortification that was built in the early 13th century by the MacSween family. The Green Lady of Skipness Castle is said to haunt the location. However, far from causing fear to residents, the ghost has protected the castle for hundreds of years. One story recounts how the ghost cast a state of confusion over an attacking enemy, forcing them to retreat. The castle, which is a scheduled ancient monument, is free to visit at all times of year. The tower, however, is open 1 April to 30 September between 9.30am-5.30pm. For more information, visit: historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/skipness-castle-and-chapel.
