Lady Margaret’s Tower sits high on a hilltop in the Lochnell Estate Benderloch and overlooks Ardmucknish Bay, it has a building date of “1754” inscribed on a plaque above the entrance door, unfortunately it’s history was destroyed in the 1800s when fire ravaged through Lochnell Castle leaving behind the question as to it’s purpose. Local legend has it that it was originally built between 1747-1754 by “Duncan Campbell 7th of Lochnell” to create work for local men who had suffered after the defeat of the Jacobite’s at Culloden in 1745. No matter what, once inside the Tower and having climbed the circular staircase to the top you are rewarded with a 360deg panorama of the Oban and Lorn area and what must be one of Scotlands best coastal views.
