Description
The ruins of Kilchurn Castle occupy a picturesque spot on a small peninsula at the northern end of Loch Awe. It was built by Colin Campbell of Glenorchy ca. 1440. Originally the castle consisted of a tower and keep, but in 1693 the first Earl of Breadalbane reinforced the site with a curtain wall. In 1745 Hanoverian troops were billeted here.
