Dunollie Castle

Dunollie Castle, for centuries the most important fortress of the Chiefs of Clan MacDougall, perches on the summit of a 90ft high outcrop of rock that guards the narrow passage into Oban Bay between the mainland and the north end of the island of Kerrera. Anyone sailing into or out of the bay cannot fail to notice it: and, of course, be noticed by anyone occupying it. Scotland has a number of castles built in apparently impregnable locations, and Dunollie must certainly be counted amongst them.
