Kilchurn has a four-storey tower built in the mid 15th century by Sir Colin Campbell, 1st of Glenorchy. Much enlarged in 1693, it incorporates the first purpose-built barracks in Scotland. The substantial ruins are some of the most picturesque in the country with spectacular views down Loch Awe. The loch is important for waterfowl and a large pike.
The castle can be accessed on foot from the Dalmally roadside (A85) under the nearby railway viaduct. This is via the loch-side, which can flood periodically, so caution is advised.
