Aros Castle has a commanding view over the Sound of Mull. The MacDougall chiefs build this Castle in the 13th century to guard their land from marauding clans. It was home to the MacDonald Lords of the Isles until 1493 when it passed to the MacLeans and much later on, passed to the Duke of Argyll. Shown here at first light.

Tantallon
Castle
is one of the most impressive castles in southern Scotland. In 1650 moss troopers based at the castle, did so much damage to Cromwell's lines of communication that in 1651, he sent an army to attack the castle. The bombardment lasted 12 days and destroyed so much of the castle that the garrison surrendered. |
