    A spectacular view

    The castle looks spectacular from the roadside but that was about as.close as I could get. It's difficult to write an access review of a place you haven't accessed but I thought I'd share what I could. As of 16th July 2026 the castle has reopened for visitors, though they state there is no disabled access, on the historic environmental Scotland site - but I expect this means mobility related impairments. You can only access the castle by boat.
