Ever dreamed of playing in a castle? Here's your chance.
Most ruins are fenced in and off limits but I found one in Scotland (mostly
intact) to clamber around on. Just outside Fort William stands the remains of
Old Inverlochy Castle from the 13th century. (Not to be confused
with Inverlochy Castle Hotel- which is still intact and warm and snuggly- not open, cold and hard as stone).
I canna tell you much about the castle history although I
did read the history plaque before wandering thorough but I had also just visited
the Ben Nevis distillery. Scotch, scotch, scotch…*hic* (Learning to fit in with the locals).
The castle, like many others, took a hit during the wars. To
learn more about it, visit: http://www.inverlochycastle.co.uk/
PS. It’s a pretty cool place to visit. Tis a quiet place and behind
the castle is Lochy River and lovely area to picnic.
Just look out for the squishy moat when crossing!
