🏰 Gylen Castle – A Hidden Gem on the Isle of Kerrera 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏞️ Nestled on a rugged promontory overlooking the stunning Firth of Lorn, Gylen Castle is a striking 16th-century tower house built by Clan MacDougall. Located on the peaceful Isle of Kerrera, near Oban, this compact yet elegant L-plan fortress offers a window into Scotland’s rich history. 🌊 Once the stronghold of the MacDougalls, the castle has endured through time, including being captured and burned in 1647 by Covenanters.

Welcome to Gylen Castle, you'll find it on the southwest coast of Kerrera, the tiny island that shelters the bay at Oban.

Don't worry, it's not too difficult a hike and when you see the ruin of Gylen, it's immediately worth the effort. Perched up on a cliff over the crashing waves, one soaring tower dominating the skyline. Gylen might look ancient, but it's almost modern by the standards of Sc
