About Castle Coeffin
The remains of Castle Coeffin, also known as Castle Kaven, are located on the north coast of the Island of Lismore just off Port Appin. The castle was constructed by the Clan MacDougal in the 13th century but would later pass to the Clans Stewart and Campbell. The 10-mile-long island of Lismore is populated by about 170 people and is accessible by car ferry from Oban (55 minutes) or a foot ferry from Port Appin. The foot ferry leaves a 3-mile walk to the castle but the island has a taxi service and Land Rover tours, and bike hire is also available.
