The beautiful stronghold sits on an island that is only accessible by boat 😍🏰
A stunning island castle with links to both Mary Queen of Scots and Robert the Bruce has reopened to the public.
With a rich history, the castle played host to royalty such as Robert the Bruce, who came as a guest, and Mary Queen of Scots who stayed as both an invited visitor but also as a reluctant prisoner in 1567.In fact, it was here she would spend her last few months in Scotland before being forced to abdicate her throne to her son, James VI and fleeing to England, where she would spend the rest of her life.
You can wander the quiet island around the castle before discovering where Queen Mary was held and enjoy a trip to the Glassin Tower.
