Kilchurn Castle - Loch Awe - Argyll & Bute - Scotland

Looking out over Loch Awe is the powerbase of the Campbells of Glenorchy and one of the most photographed castles in Scotland.
Kilchurn Castle was a fortress, a comfortable residence and later a garrison stronghold, and contains the oldest surviving barracks on the British mainland. Its five-storey tower house dominates the complex, with a lower hall, courtyard and barracks below.
Kilchurn Castle was built in the mid-1400s, and it remained the base of the mighty Campbells of Glenorchy for 150 years. After the first Jacobite Rising of 1689, Kilchurn was converted into a garrison stronghold, but was abandoned by the end of the 1700s.

It's such a pity it's closed, glad I got to see it whilst it was open, same with a few of the castles in the area. Got the pictures to prove it.👍
