Undiscovered Scotland

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

While we are at Achmelvich we visit the elusive Hermit's Castle, built in 1950 on a rocky headland. It's been called Europe's smallest castle and is actually a concrete folly built in a Brutalist style that blends surprisingly well into its rocky shoreside setting.

@UndisScot Always loved Kylesku. The views from Quinag were amazing. And I (just) remember the ferry.
