Dalmally

Built in the 15th century, but not abandoned until the 1700s, Kilchurn Castle was once home to Clan Campbell. Today, the structure has crumbled into a decay of stone that's resulted from the many years of neglect — although even in its ruin, the castle is a magnificent display of architecture.
