Kilchurn Castle

Reviewed By Abi K - London

This castle is a beautiful symbol of the historic area and there is a wonderful sense of history in visiting the building and its grounds. Parts of the interior have been gently restored to give visitors an idea of its use and significance in history; platforms, stairs and outlooks give visitors their own very hands on experience, which is well worth the climbing and effort. The castle is free to visit and the car park large enough to park long enough to explore the whole grounds. It's not very well sign posted so we recommend keeping an eye out for the white posts discretely signifying the entrance.

Staying close by and finding the morning so very wet we were advised to try the Cruachan Power Station. We weren’t disappointed. Our tour guide was so informative and didn’t mind answering our rather simple questions. Great little cafe too which has good hot chocolate...MoreGreat to hear you enjoyed your visit to Cruachan, nothing beats a hot chocolate on a rainy day!

Glenorchy Parish Church

Reviewed By Rossergruffydd - Glasgow, United Kingdom

The kirk stands on a hill on an island between two rivers, an ancient religious location and a cemetery with medieval gravestones and a few with Gaelic inscriptions. An unusual coffin rest and an area for 'tinker' burials. The octagonal church is very unusual and the saying is that such churches have no corners for the Devil to hide in!
A good guide book is on sale and the church has a small display of historical items including coins, etc from St Conan's Well. The old church hall is that abandoned corrugated iron building next to the main road and the war memorial is close to the church just passed the delightful community garden. Dalmally railway station is within easy walking distance and a bus service is also available.

Duncan Ban MacIntyre Monument

Reviewed By Sara M - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Have visited this wonderful landmark regularly taking friends and family. On the most recent visit was so pleased to see dilapidated sign and rope edging removed on path up to the monument. Hopefully a new sign and works to improve the route up are planned? My father couldn't manage the path up last year and the view from the parking area was screened by plantation. Now recent felling has meant the less able can enjoy the view...how long for I wonder...
