    Kilchurn Castle

    This ruined castle is absolutely majestic. The few tourists who visit it on their own end up getting a less than perfect view, but on this private tour your guide gets you to the best possible spots to get the most stunning views away from the crowds. Once a stronghold of Clan Campbell, this beauty is one of the less visited castles in Scotland and although you cannot visit inside, the views of it are well worth the visit.
