Lochindorb

Lochindorb Castle, situated on a small island in the scenic Lochindorb, dates back to the 13th century. It was originally constructed by the Comyn family, one of the most powerful families in medieval Scotland. The castle's strategic location played a significant role during the Wars of Scottish Independence. In the early 14th century, it came under the control of King Edward I of England, who used it as a stronghold during his campaigns in Scotland. Later, it passed into the hands of the Earls of Moray and was briefly occupied by the infamous 'Wolf of Badenoch', Alexander Stewart, in the late 14th century. Over the centuries, the castle fell into disrepair, and today, it stands as a picturesque ruin, accessible only by boat. Its remote and tranquil setting offers visitors a glimpse into Scotland's turbulent past, making it a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Despite its ruinous state, the castle remains an evocative symbol of Scotland's medieval heritage, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Highlands.
