This castle was built in 1220 and owned by the MacKenzies of Kintail. In 1719 it was held by Spanish Jacobites. Three English frigates attacked the castle and left it in ruins. In 1912 work started on restoring the castle over a period of twenty years at a cost of a quarter of a million pounds. More recently the castle featured in the new Bond movie.
