Visiting Skipness Castle
Skipness Castle can be found on the eastern edge of the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland, near the village of Skipness.
The castle was first constructed by the Clan MacSween in the early 13th century but was altered and fortified throughout the 13th, 14th and 16th centuries.
Skipness Castle was garrisoned by royal troops during King James IV of Scotland's suppression of the Isles in 1494 and in 1646, during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms; the castle was besieged by forces under the command of Alasdair Mac Colla. The castle was then abandoned in the 17th century and is now a scheduled ancient monument.
The castle is said to be haunted by a ghost named The Green Lady (of Skipness Castle).

One day motorcycle ride around the Kintyre Peninsula, Scotland. 30th April 2013. Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré.
Hello from Royal Tarbert Castle พาชมปราสทาร้างบนเขาวิวสวยๆ
Hello everyone welcome and thank you very much for watching and joining I really appreciated that, and thanks again for checking me out and reading I hope you have a lovely ahead god blessed everyone..
History:
In 712, Tarbert was burned by King Selbach mac Ferchair of Cenél Loairn and of Dál Riata and in 731 by his son, Dúngal mac Selbaig.
King Edward II of England handed control of the castle to the Scottish King John II de Balliol in 1292. A fortified structure was built in Tarbert during the 13th century. It was reinforced with the addition of an outer bailey and towers in the 1320s by Robert the Bruce, to protect it against the Lords of the Isles. A towerhouse was added in the 16th century, which is the most noticeable part of the remains. The castle occupies high land above the village, providing views up Loch Fyne and beyond to the Firth of Clyde. This castle was captured from John MacDonald of Islay, Lord of the Isles by James IV of Scotland as part of his campaign to destroy the power of the Lords of the Isles in 1494. In 1687 the castle was involved in another skirmish when Walter Campbell of Skipness Castle seized it as a stronghold for Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll as part of actions in support of the Monmouth Rebellion in England.
There are only a couple of standing walls left. The castle has a very commanding view of the water approaches. Now owned by the community and part of a volunteer maintained Heritage park
