Stromeferryの洞窟・トップ6

A very beautiful complex, built at the end of the 19th century. Easily accessible from Plockton via a romantic hiking trail.

It is a nice short walk up the hill. There is not a lot of traffic on the road one has to walk along. The view on the Eilean Donan Castle is amazig!

One of the most beautiful views of the castle

Perched on a rocky outcrop at the end of Loch Carron, Strome Castle has perfect views towards the Isle of Skye. It was built in the 14th century and changed hands many times over the centuries, until finally, in the 1600s, it was besieged (and blown up) by Kenneth MacKenzie, Lord of Kintail. https://www.nts.org.uk/stories/little-gems

The classic postcard view of Eilean Donan Castle, set atop its small tidal island at the confluence of three sea lochs: Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh.

Built in 1866 in the Scottish baronial style, Duncraig Castle was home to the Matheson family until the 1920s. After several changeable decades, including being used as a Naval hospital during WWII, the castle was bought by the Dobson family of England in 2002, of whom 17 moved in. A 5-part series on their life was aired by the BBC, but the Dobsons sold the castle in 2009. Since then it has been run as a hotel and B&B but at the time of writing (spring 2023) is under private ownership and closed to the public.

There has been a castle on this site since the 12th century. It's been a stronghold on the shore of Loch Duich for several clans until it was destroyed from the sea in 1719. In 1912 the castle ruins were bought and a 20year restoration began. The castle was opened to the public in 1955. You can visit today (adults £10 Early 2023 price) and view the building and displays. There is also a cafe and coffee shop on site. Seasonal opening hours but normally open at least from 10:00 - 16:00.

From here you have stunning views across the Loch towards Dornie Castle, possibly the most beautiful Castle in Scotland. A quick detour South to the end of the carpark here leads to the official viewpoint.
