Torosay Castle
Torosay Castle on the Isle of Mull is a Victorian Scottish Baronial castle of 1858 set within formal gardens and parkland above Duart Bay with views across the Firth of Lorne toward Oban and the mainland. The castle was built by Sir John Campbell in the Scots Baronial style and the formal gardens were designed by Sir Robert Lorimer, including a statue walk lined with Italian figures, terraced gardens, a walled garden and woodland walks of considerable quality. The castle is now in private ownership and not regularly open to the public. The surrounding landscape of southeast Mull, with the medieval Duart Castle nearby and the scenic Sound of Mull, provides an exceptional setting for this Victorian Highland estate. The Isle of Mull is accessible by ferry from Oban and is one of Scotland's most visited islands.
