Description
Scotland, Argyl, Loch Awe
On the way home we passed another castle: Kilchurn Castle
History:
Kilchurn Castle was built in about 1450 by Sir Colin Campbell on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe. Access to the Castle is sometimes restricted by higher-than-usual levels of water in the Loch, at which times the site effectively becomes a temporary island.
In 1760, the castle was badly damaged by lightning and was completely abandoned; the remains of a turret of a tower, still resting upside-down in the centre of the courtyard, attest to the violence of the storm.
Wish you all a perfect sunday! ;o)

I went to Urquhart Castle and did not know that Kilchurn Castle was in the same area. WOW - that was 20 years ago!

Beautiful shot. Did you also get one of the broken turret in the courtyard?

Passed by this beautiful ruined Clan Campbell castle a little over a week ago, got a shot from pretty close to where you were! I like the complex greens and yellow-golds and the wet look.
