Kinloch Castle

Yes, sadly is a little run down but the caretaker does an excellent job on the little guided tour. An example of the bottomless pit of extravagance produced by the industrial era of GB although not always in great taste. Interesting architectural design especially the turret staircase and butler's servery off the dining room. Would have been spectacular in it's prime. Worth a visit on the Calmac 3 isle circuit.

Castle is exceptional, tour guide is also very friendly and informative. The history inside the castle and the artefacts inside are one of a kind. The orchestrian, Steinway Piano, Lion pelt and numerous and enormous stag heads await your arrival in the main hall itself. The halls and the many rooms inside are filled with incredible objects worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. The building itself is made from red Arran sandstone, and is very porous which means the castle will not survive forever in-fact is showing signs of dampness already. A true one of a kind place and is a situated in a fantastic community with unbeatable views.

Best castle visit I've ever been on. The guide Ross was excellent, really informative and entertaining. Well worth the effort getting there. Rum is a phenomenal place, full of history, will be back again soon.

A quirky castle on the Isle of Rum, and efforts are underway to restore it. If you take a tour inside or even peek into the windows you'll see a lot of eclectic decorations and ornaments. Very interesting!

Currently for sale and though I may only be a 17 year old girl from Australia this is my new dream home and I will be enlisting my future husband to purchase it for me :) absolutely gorgeous and so isolated, just my thing!

Untouched History. Ross was an amazing guide and provided info that you will not find in the history books!

Old and run down. Would make an excellent 5***** hotel ....✝️🫂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌈

Extraordinary place on a barely populated island. Had a great tour with the local guide who told us about lots of great local historic lore. Interesting stories, great insights in how the owners used to live there. The place is a bit worn down, due to the lack of funds. Hope they get the money to restore it to it's former glory, the castle deserves it.

1 1/2 hrs on a ferry from Mallaig took me to the Isle of Rum. It is a magical approach with a wide bay and Kinloch Castle standing looking out to sea. A new jetty has been built and a short walk takes you into the small village. It's like time has been forgotten and all you can hear is the whirl of generators as there was no electricty on the island. Scottish Natural Heritage own Kinloch Castle which was featured on the BBC programme 'Restoration'. There are tours of the castle which shows you the amazing wealth that was once in place. It is very sad to see the way the castle is currently being left to ruin. There are many walks which can be undertaken but if you are catching a ferry later that day keep an eye on your watch. There are Highland ponies on Rum, all with distinct characteristics which are only found in Rum ponies, who work on the hills carrying the deer. B&B can be booked to stay in the castle, I went for the day and I would love to come back for a few days. Remember to pack your midge lotion as the midges are ferocious! :-)
