Castle Stalker - Loch Linnhe

Castle Stalker, built around 1540 by Duncan Stewart of Appin, this much-photographed castle was gifted by him to James IV for use as a hunting lodge. The castles Gaelic name Caisteal Stalcair translates as 'Castle of the Hunter'. It sits at the mouth of Loch Laich (by Loch Linnhe) on a rocky islet known as the Rock of the Cormorants.
The castle, like so many in Scotland, has had a turbulent history. One 17th century Stewart gambled it away to a Campbell for an eight-oared galley During the 1745 Jacobite Rising it was used as a garrison for troops.

Hello Brian:
I like your photo, especially the combination of those grey skies and the reflection of both sky and castle in the low tide...
Congratulations.
I did not get that near to the castle, but saw it from a view point higher above, the Castle Stalker View, on the A828....will have to return there to get a closer look...
Regards,
Susana
