Lochranza Castle

A beautiful little castle ruin in an amazing setting. You can drive right up to it which is cool. And its free! Lots of deer and sheep kicking about aswel so better to park at the side of the road and walk along.

Very beautiful ruin of a 13th century castle. The castle and surroundings are so typical scottish. Apparently herge and his assistent Bob de Moor ( he was actually the one who went to the UK to do the sketching) had the same thoughts because they used it as an inspiratie for a tintin adventure ( one of his best)

Probably the best spot on the island for me in terms of postcard image view. Stunning. Go there the moment you arrive on Brodick.

The drive coming from the west coast is something you’ll never forget.

Beautiful peaceful location with scenery so pretty... The castle is locked off so you can't go inside but still a great place to just sit and watch the world go by.. xx

Easy to park up, and walk to the small castle. As at August 2022, the castle is surrounded by fencing as mortar has been falling from the castle. Castle is set in a very scenic location.

Lochranza is a beautiful place and the castle stands proudly alongside a stunning bay. It makes a perfect quick stop off being only meters from the road with room to park. There are also picnic benches available to use overlooking the bay. Access to the outside of the castle is wheelchair friendly along a tarmac path. The castle itself was barriered off when I visited due to unstable stonework so I couldn't go inside, but there were information boards to read and the quiet peaceful setting early morning was a still a wonderful experience.

A lovely spot in the sunshine. You can't go In the castle but I believe you could before. The location gives this 5 star, the castle itself is not much to look at but if you like history you will appreciate it

Very well looked after. Nice walk around the castle too
