Kilchurn Castle

Own a 6x12” print of this watercolor rendition of Kilchurn Castle, located in the Scottish Highlands. It was once inhabited by MacGregors and owned by Campbells; two great rivals in Scottish Clan history. The ruin walls whisper many stories from hundreds of years, including the brief time the two clans were civil with each other.

Kilchurn Castle was a fortress, a comfortable residence and later a garrison stronghold, and contains the oldest surviving barracks on the British mainland. Its five-storey tower house dominates the complex, with a lower hall, courtyard and barracks below.

Kilchurn Castle was built in the mid-1400s, and it remained the base of the mighty Campbells of Glenorchy for 150 years. After the first Jacobite Rising of 1689, Kilchurn was converted into a garrison stronghold, but was abandoned by the end of the 1700s.
