Om
Raske fakta: Slottets murer når opp til 12 meter høye, og står sterke etter århundrer med stormer og beleiringer. Besøkende kan se de intrikate steinutskjæringene som fortsatt forteller historier om gamle gæliske høvdinger.
Høydepunkter: En hemmelig spiraltrapp fører til skjulte rom der høvdingene en gang planla forsvaret sitt, kun opplyst av smale spaltevinduer. Slottets store sal har et originalt utskåret tretak som antas å være over 400 år gammelt, og gir et sjeldent innblikk i middelalderens håndverk.
Insidertips
- 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.
