Discover the Enigmatic Beauty of Castle Stalker
A solitary silhouette against the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, Castle Stalker stands majestically on a small islet in Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe. This picturesque four-story tower house, originally built around the early 14th century, has become a beloved icon of Scotland's rich and turbulent history. Its name, derived from the Gaelic word 'Stalcaire', meaning 'hunter' or 'falconer', hints at a noble past intertwined with the MacDougalls, the Stewarts of Appin, and even the famed Jacobite uprisings.
