Schnelle Fakten: Die Schlossmauern erreichen eine Höhe von bis zu 12 Metern und stehen nach Jahrhunderten von Stürmen und Belagerungen noch immer fest. Besucher können die kunstvollen Steinmetzarbeiten sehen, die noch Geschichten von alten gälischen Häuptlingen erzählen.
Highlights: Eine geheime Wendeltreppe führt zu verborgenen Räumen, in denen die Häuptlinge einst ihre Verteidigungspläne schmiedeten, beleuchtet nur von schmalen Schlitzfenstern. Die große Halle des Schlosses besitzt ein originales geschnitztes Holzdecken, von dem man annimmt, dass es über 400 Jahre alt ist, und bietet einen seltenen Einblick in mittelalterliches Handwerk.
Insidertipps
- Wear sturdy shoes as some floors and staircases are uneven and slippery when wet.
- Bring a camera for shots of the castle's imposing exterior and coastal views.
- Avoid weekends to escape larger tour groups and enjoy a quieter visit.
- Check the local schedule for guided tours that offer richer historical insights.
