Mingary Castle
Mingary Castle on the Ardnamurchan peninsula is a thirteenth-century coastal castle built for the Clan MacIain MacDonald, whose fortress controlled the Sound of Mull and the Ardnamurchan peninsula from a dramatically situated clifftop above the sea. The castle has been substantially restored in the twenty-first century and now operates as a luxury accommodation and events venue within the ancient walls, combining medieval heritage with high-quality hospitality in one of the most remote settings of any castle in Scotland. The Ardnamurchan peninsula is the most westerly point of the British mainland, and the combination of the restored castle, the dramatic coastal scenery and the exceptional wildlife of the peninsula including golden eagles, otters and marine mammals makes Mingary a destination of genuine distinction in the Scottish Highlands.
