Om
Snabba fakta: Slottets murar når upp till 12 meters höjd och står starka efter århundraden av stormar och belägringar. Besökare kan se de intrikata stenristningarna som fortfarande berättar historier om forntida gaeliska hövdingar.
Höjdpunkter: En hemlig spiraltrappa leder till dolda rum där hövdingarna en gång planerade sina försvar, endast upplysta av smala skottgluggfönster. Slottets stora sal har ett originaltimrat snidat tak som tros vara över 400 år gammalt och erbjuder en sällsynt inblick i medeltida hantverk.
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.
