This here is Dunstaffnage Castle, built on a large rock in the Firth of Lorn, a short drive from Oban. Built in 1275, it was captured in the 14th century and turned over to the Campbells. Its claim to fame is that Flora MacDonald was imprisoned here after she helped Bonnie Prince Charlie escape dressed as a maid. Apart from the outside walls, very little of the castle remains -- but it was possible to see features such as the bread ovens and loo chutes.
