Scotland’s Finest Castle Landscapes
Filed under Scotland
Over two thousand castles are known to have been constructed in Scotland. Some are now just records in history books and some lie in ruins. Others are home to royalty and wealthy landowners. Some proudly stand guard over the major cities but perhaps the most visually impressive are those set against Scotland’s most spectacular rural scenery. These are some of the finest examples.
Castle Stalker is a privately owned four story tower house set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, Argyll. There has been a structure on the site since around 1320, though the current building is believed to have been constructed around 1440. It was featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
