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!
