This Castle is one of my favourites, every time I wander around it I add to my plans of what I could do with it if I were rich and owned it.  Built between 1565 and 1572 by John Carswell who was Superintendent of Argyll for the Reformed Church and from 1567 Bishop of the Isles.  At the head of Kilmartin Glen it has wonderful views, once you climb the hill on which it is sitting and all those spiral steps, it was partly blown up in 1685 but is still a solid and attractive building.
