👍👍 Beautiful historic house, forest trails, river walks and garden centre in Parkanaur, near Castlecaulfield. There are 3 colour coded walks, which all bring you back to the carpark.

Ralston Cairn
Historical place
👍👍 Beautiful views and a peaceful location. You can park 10 minutes from it on road. There is only enough room for one car as the road has partially collapsed. There are a couple of YouTube videos online with decent directions to the cairn as it's easy to miss.

Little Cumbrae Castle
Castle
👍👍 Lovely castle in a pretty good state of repair. It's not dissimilar to Portencross Castle across from it on the mainland. Remember to go downstairs as well as up, as you enter on the first floor. Views from the roof are stunning, and you'll want to have your camera with you. One word of warning. The...

Goward Dolmen Chambered Grave
Historical place
👍👍 Tricky to get to if you aren't familiar with the area. The road to the site is rough and awkward - take your time. Well worth it when you are there though. A very impressive feat of engineering however it was managed and an atmospheric site on a good day. We visited on a freezing February day with c...

Tobermory Lighthouse image

Tobermory Lighthouse
Historical place
👍👍 The lighthouse can be reached by a beautiful, 2k walk, along a very scenic coastal footpath, on the edge of a deciduous rainforest habitat. I suggest wearing sensible walking shoes or wellies as it can be stoney or muddy in places. During the walk, you will come across a waterfall cascading dow...

Dalquharran Castle
Castle
👍 I would love to go inside to de the ruin of the castle but it was barried of for safety reasons. Can imagine how it was in the days and what a view the owner at that time. Well worth to see the castle. Be aware you can not drive to the castle you need to park you car on the main road as it is privat...

Bonamargy Friary (State Care Monument)
Historical landmark
👍👍 So much history here and I was amazed to find the service mens graves from the two great wars here. Neither am I ashamed to say when I read their headstones it brings a tear, young men who have their all for my/our freedom. What a sacrifice. It moves me also when I see the headstone and it says, ‘an...

👍👍 Great place and interesting even for those with only a mild interest in history. Parking is tricky but we drove past to the end of the road and parked on the right on a wide verge. It's child friendly too because it's safe and enclosed.

👍👍 My family, 8 of us, stayed here for a week. Great castle with all of the interesting quirks one might expect spiral staircases, hidden doors etc. Whilst also having the mod cons, good kitchen and bathrooms. Made to feel very welcome by the family living in the other half of the castle.
