It cost £6 to get into the castle and many of the doors are sealed off. Some of the items in the building are ok, but most are rubbish. Take photos out side in the car park for free. More

Went here at the weekend from Kilmarnock. What a very long but lovely drive and well worth it, visited castle local shop and took some utterly fab scenery photos. Well worth the drive, plenty to see and do and lots of hotels,b&b's and food places to suit all tastes. More

Visited this on the way home from Skye, plenty of parking and there was enough space in the overflow car park to park our car and caravan, which can be difficult in places! I really liked this place, the entry price wasn't too exorbitant and there was enough to see and do, there was a really nice atmosphere in the... More

Have always wanted to go here and have now managed to, what a spectacular place, and having a cloud free day, no wind, blue sky and sunshine made it even more special. Great loaction, shop and facilities are good, very popular with tourists, nice to just wander round at your own pace and take plenty of photo's along the way... More
