Scottish castles are everywhere, and Kintyre has two of its very own to shout about, both on the eastern side of the peninsula.
In the north, the rugged ruins of medieval Tarbert Castle sit on the edge of Loch Fyne. The castle was rebuilt in its entirety by Robert the Bruce in 1325, and is now under the care of the community and set within a wider Heritage Park with woodland walks, a wildlife pond, sculptures and an orchard.
Further south you'll find Skipness Castle, which dates back to the 1200s and is free to visit, along with its impressive chapel.
