Innisconnel Castle

Amist the islands of Loch Awe are some islands which are well worth exploring if you can hire a boat from one of the nearby fishermen (that is; if you can persuade them to come back to shore!) The island has some beautiful plant life in an old cemetery belonging to a Scottish clan, and the plants really do seem to come to life! There is also a beautiful conifer planted perfectly over one of the graves. On the other island lies Innisconnel Castle, a forgotten fortress that you can just climb over and explore everywhere! I scaled one of the inside walls to reach the ramparts; only to find that there were a simple set of steps that let you do just that. There was also an original passageway that I could crawl down to explore the remains of one of the tower rooms, and the views were absolutely stunning.
