Kilchurn Castle is a ruined structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a classic, easy photography location of a wonderful Highlands landmark and a historic monument.

Photography Tips

Tripod and long exposures. There are so many compositions so wait for the light to change to make the best use of this stunning and easy-to-access location. Use the rocks and stones for a nice foreground.
This spot is muddy as Hell, be sure to bring rubber boots! Standard zoom is fine. Unfortunately, there are Powerlines behind the castle which kills the medieval look a little bit.

Travel Information

Parking at 10 min walk for a few cars.

Turn off the A82 onto the A819. After approximately 500 metres, there is a layby for parking. Cross the field immediately opposite for the classic viewpoint and make your way to the edge of the Loch to find a composition.

Note that the field is extremely boggy in winter and springtime, and it is possible to sink almost to thigh level in some areas! Wellington boots are highly recommended and you should try to stay on the path which includes old crates / wooden pallets, and planks of wood.

This spot has so much potential, however on my visit June 2024 I was left a little disappointed. The Castle itself has security fencing around it and it's not well placed from a photography pov. A steady stream of coach tours pulling up for a quick snap detracted from the experience. And a farmer/landowner who was parked in the lay-by shouting at people who deviated from the footpath.

Awesome spot :) so mystical... Powelines: Try to retouch them with PS, the background is not so complicated, so it will be easy (i think) ;)

Yeah I'm not a big fan of retouching. Probably it would work well on this picture
