Why visit

It gives families one of the classic Highlands castle views, with a manageable enough route that you can treat it as a bridge-and-photos stop or add a short interior visit on the day.

Access

Wind and rain matter because the setting is exposed, and the castle itself has many steps and no wheelchair access inside.
