Mingary Castle

Venture behind Mingary’s robust 13th century curtain wall and you will find an exquisite blend of luxurious Georgian style and ancient history. A long abandoned, yet enduring feature of Ardnamurchan’s wild southern coast, the Castle finished its three-year refurbishment in 2016 and saw the drawbridge being lowered for the first time in 150 years.

The crumbling stonework, long collapsed roofs and floors buried deep in undergrowth are no longer. Today the building is full of new life and old charm oak panelling, four poster beds, Caithness stone flooring, a hand carved staircase, lavish furnishings and tastefully integrated conveniences fill its halls.

From the range of suites, each with their own unique features and style, to the grandness of the living and dining rooms, Mingary is just as stunning as the wilderness that surrounds it. A trip beyond the Castle walls (or even taking in the panoramic views from the battlement walkways) will reveal some of the finest countryside in Scotland. Our mountains, moorland and waters are teaming with rare and beautiful flora and fauna. The south-facing sea gate will take you down to the volcanic rock promontory and even closer to the waves.
