Our Experts Say:

The long abandoned ruin of Mingary Castle has been painstakingly renovated by a team of highly skilled craftsmen, who have made good the crumbling stonework, long lost roofs and floors buried deep in undergrowth, so once again Mingary can provide its guests with the finest of Highland hospitality. Sitting on the coastal fringes of the 12,000 hectare Ardnamurchan Estate, Mingary is at the heart of some of the finest countryside in the UK; its mountains, moorland, and seawaters are teeming with rare and beautiful flora and fauna.
