There is something magical about all our Scottish castles but those that stand on islands and seem almost impossible to reach are particularly tantalising for intrepid castle hunters.
Here’s a selection that you might want to add to your castle visit list. Found in some of Scotland's most stunning locations, perhaps it might encourage you to visit?

BOTTOM: Finlaggan Castle was the centre of the Lordship of the Isles on beautiful Isle of Islay
LEFT:Castle Tioram (pronounced Chee-rum) on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsular
RIGHT:Castle Tioram from another view - it deserves to be pictured twice
Threave Castle in the River Dee - home of the Black Douglas

RIGHT: Brodick Castle, Arran, above the island’s capital

MIDDLE: Kilchurn Castle, Loch Awe - almost an island!
BOTTOM: Loch Gorm Castle, Islay - it’s there!
