Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Le mura del castello raggiungono i 12 metri di altezza, resistendo salde dopo secoli di tempeste e assedi. I visitatori possono ammirare le intricate incisioni in pietra che ancora raccontano le storie degli antichi capi gaelici.
Punti salienti: Una scala a chiocciola segreta conduce a stanze nascoste dove un tempo i capi pianificavano le loro difese, illuminate solo da strette feritoie. La grande sala del castello ospita un originale soffitto in legno intagliato, ritenuto vecchio di oltre 400 anni, che offre una rara visione dell'artigianato medievale.
Consigli da insider
- 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.
