Description

Kinlochaline Castle | Highlands | Castles, Forts and Battles

Kinlochaline Castle was built in the fifteenth century on the site of an earlier fortification. The Tower House overlooked Loch Alpine and provided direct access to the Sound of Mull, a major trade route that connected the site to the wider region. The castle was attacked in 1644 by Alistair MacColla and again in 1679 by Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyll.
