13 Medieval Castles to Visit for History and Architecture

"Sitting on a verdant island overlooking three lochs, this iconic Highland fortress has kept watch over the meeting point of those lochs since the 13th century. After being attacked by English troops in the 1700s the original fortress was left in ruins for years before being rebuilt in the 1930s; today it is one of the country's most-visited spots and a popular wedding venue." - Steven Casale Steven Casale Steven Casale is a New York City-based freelance writer and digital strategist.
