Dunollie Castle
Another good visit is to the ruins of
Dunollie Castle, north of town on the
Corran Esplanade towards Ganavan,
from where there are also wonderful
views.

The castle was built on the site of an
ancient stronghold of the King of Scots,
and then taken over in the 13th century
by the MacDougalls, Lords of Lorn.

Dunstaffnage Castle
Three miles north of Oban, Dunstaffnage Castle is the
principal seat of the Campbells. The C13th fort is
built on an impressive site and much of the huge
curtain wall remains intact.

The ruins of the little chapel nearby are worth a look.
The castle served as a temporary prison for Flora
MacDonald. For more details and opening times call
