It was slightly ironic that we headed back to the mainland to
visit our first picturesque castle of the trip, but it was nearby and it was
Monday and we could get there early. We parked at a beautiful spot opposite the
loch, and even though there was a strong wind it was still a nice day. We got
our tickets and we decided to begin our tour around the outskirts before
heading inside. We tried to picture James Bond driving his car across the
drawbridge and realised it must have been a very tight manoeuvre or a complicated
camera trick involving half a car. There were some brilliant military exhibits
inside the castle explaining its history and defences but there wasn’t a lot of
access to the upper ramparts. We decided to retire to the coffee shop back at
the visitor centre which was in a very smart barn to discuss our next destination.
