ロッキー湖でののおすすめライド

Kinloch Hourn is the end of the road, beyond here to the west beckon the wilds of Knoydart. You'll find a car park and B&B accommodation here. The undulating path along the southern shore of Loch Hourn leads to one of Scotland's greatest Munros: Ladhar Bheinn. This path also features on the Cape Wrath Trail.

Entering the castle at this strategically important location is currently not possible due to renovation work.

The road north of the lake is very beautiful and secluded, and you can drive along it virtually forever; it certainly feels like forever. You usually have to turn back at some point.

So the castle was not visitebel in may 2022…….and now in august 2024 its still not to be visited due to repairs…….what a blame for the Scottish heritage or what may left off it!!

The walk along the banks of Loch Hourn is stunning... but look closely at the map: you'll have three stiff ascents and descents along the way

Usually open 12pm - 4pm. They sell one shower + towel for 5pds!!

Loch Lochy is Scotlands third deepest loch and is part of the Caledonian Canal. Folklore tales mention a supernatural being called the River Horse which was said to emerge from the lake and assume a horse's shape before feeding on the loch's banks. The River Horse was also known as the Lord of the Lake and the Water King and would overturn boats and entice mares from their pastures.

Inverlochy Castle was built by the ‘Red’ Comyns, lords of Badenoch and Lochaber. The Comyns dominated northern Scotland in the 1200s, and were key supporters of King John Balliol, earning the enmity of Robert the Bruce. After seizing the throne in 1306, Bruce made the destruction of the Comyns a priority, and ruthlessly set about overthrowing them. Much of what we see at Inverlochy Castle today was built by the Comyns. It’s a formidable fortress, which has survived remarkably well. Few castles from the 1200s survive unaltered in Scotland today, and Inverlochy is one of the most complete.
