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

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.

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...
