Mountains, wildflowers and ruins

Ardvreck castle, built by the MacLeods, in 1490, was rather small as castles go, with only 3 main rooms stacked above each other in the square tower and another two rooms at the top of the round tower, supported by corbells (still obvious). Despite its small size it saw its fair share of intrigue, murders, violence and ghosts. It was finally destroyed by lightning in 1795, perhaps given its history, not an unjust end.
