Ardvreck Castle
Is a ruined castle (obviously) dating from the 16th
century which stands on a rocky promontory jutting
out into Loch Assynt . There is not a great deal left but
then it was never a massive castle to start with. The
ride over to the castle and the views alone make the
ride worth while for any biker. A brilliant spot for
some packed lunch at the loch when the weather is
playing nice.
As always there is a violent history that goes with the
building of fueding clans and the MacLeods (Not sure
if Connor was one of them or not!) and the Marquis of
Montrose was once a prisioner here!
