Castle Lachlan lies on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne, near Newton, just beyond the boundaries of Agyll?s Secret Coast. The original castle dates back to the 13th century but was replaced in the 15th century with the keep or tower that today is in ruins. From Inver Cottage, there?s an easy walk across the bay to see this unique and atmospheric fortress.
The new Castle Lachlan, about a ten- minute walk away from the ruin, is the seat of Clan Maclachlan. It was built in the late 18th century in the Queen Anne Style, then at the end of the 19th century it was transformed into the Scottish baronial house that stands today.
