Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Las paredes del castillo alcanzan hasta 12 metros de altura, permaneciendo firmes tras siglos de tormentas y asedios. Los visitantes pueden ver las intrincadas tallas en piedra que aún cuentan historias de antiguos jefes gaélicos.
Destacados: Una escalera de caracol secreta conduce a habitaciones ocultas donde los jefes una vez planearon sus defensas, iluminadas solo por estrechas ventanas. El gran salón del castillo cuenta con un techo de madera tallada original que se cree tiene más de 400 años, ofreciendo una rara mirada a la artesanía medieval.
Consejos de expertos
- 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.
