It is one of the most photographed castles in Scotland
It's no secret that Scotland is home to some of the most stunning and fascinating castles and ruins anywhere in the world.
One of the more picturesque and fascinating castles in the country is Kilchurn, located on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe in Argyll and Bute. Kilchurn Castle remained the base of the Campbells for around 150 years, before being converted into a garrison for redcoat troops following the first Jacobite Rising of 1689. After a fire caused by a lightning strike in the 1760s, the castle was abandoned and left to decay.
According to locals, one of these is referred to as the Witch of Kilchurn. It is believed that this is the spirit of a homeless woman who took refuge in the castle after it was abandoned, with some reportedly seeing her in town filling up her pipe tobacco.
