"KILCHURN CASTLE

Today's Blip comes from Argyll and a property built by the Campbell's.
Kilchurn has a four-storey tower built in the mid 15th century by Sir Colin Campbell, 1st of Glenorchy. Much enlarged in 1693, it incorporates the first purpose-built barracks in Scotland.
The substantial ruins are some of the most picturesque in the country with spectacular views down Loch Awe. The loch is important for waterfowl and a large pike.

Situated at the Northeast end of Loch Awe, 2.5m West of Dalmally off the A85.
Nice wee run up round Loch Lomond, Loch Long and the Castle is open to the public April - September.
Now it's off to work. Enjoy your weekend blippers.
