Itinerary
Day 1 - Stonefield Castle
The first stop of your castle tour is the beautiful Stonefield Castle, dating back to the 19th century and offering guests awe-inspiring views over Loch Fyne; this is the perfect place to start a tour based on seeing the best sights that Scotland has to offer.
See what Lizzy has to say about this location below...
"Stonefield Castle, set on the Mull of Kintyre Peninsula, is an ideal seal and dolphin watching spot, and is close to the gorgeous fishing village of Tarburt. It is perfect for those who like the outdoors, with kayaking, wild swimming, cycling and hiking trails nearby. Local sites to visit include abbeys and fabulous beaches, plus there’s Beinn an Tuirc Distillery for rainy gin-tasting days!"
Day 2 - Ardanaiseig
The next stop of your tour is a real hidden gem on the West Coast - Ardanaiseig. With a rich history and stunningly scenic surroundings, there is no question as to why Lizzy featured this property in your itinerary!
See what she had to say below...
"Ardanaiseig is situated in the heart of Argyll, and watched over by the Ben Cruachan mountain, one of the infamous Munros. The hotel settles on the banks of Loch Awe, the longest freshwater loch in Scotland. Local attractions include Kilchurn Castle and Dunnstaffnage Castle ruins, Bonawe Iron Furnace, the gorgeous town of Oban with its views over the water, Cruachan Dam and, for wildlife enthusiasts, the Scottish Wildcat, Red Foxes, Otters and Wild Red Deer make up just a few of the local inhabitants you may spot."
Day 3-4 - Mingary Castle
What better way to finish off your sightseeing tour of the West Coast than at one of its most distinctive 13th-century features - Mingary Castle!
See what Lizzy had to say about this fabulous castle below...
"Mingary Castle is just nine miles south of Fort William - either catch the ferry for the short ride across Loch Linnhe, or continue to Glenfinnan with its monument marking the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard, and the Glenfinnan Railway made famous in the Harry Potter films, then head west to Mallaig. This route gives spectacular views of the Isles (Rum, Eigg, and Muck). There is no need to move far upon arrival, as the castle is on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, the most westerly point of the British Isles, bounded by the sea on three sides. When not out watching the wildlife, or exploring the coastline, the food created by chef patron, Colin, showcases what Scotland has to offer, using sustainable and seasonally sourced local produce."
