Barcaldine Castle

Barcaldine Castle, located on the shores of Loch Creran with spectacular views to the snow-capped mountains of Glencoe. The castle has a mixed history but was built originally by Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy between 1601 and 1609, and In 1692 the castle was attacked during the massacre of Glencoe. The castle fell into disrepair in the later part of the 19th century but was again restored between 1897-1911. The castle today not only offers B&B but also the chance for guests and Ghost Hunters (if lucky) to catch a glimpse of Donald Campbell, the Laird of Barcaldine who was brutally murdered inside the castle in the 1600s.
