The Castle has its own hillside gardens and is surrounded by 55,000 glorious acres of Trust-owned land – designated under European legislation for its plant and bird life, and a paradise of steep hills and sea cliffs, white sand beaches and turquoise seas, remote glens and lochs.
You will be delighted with the Castle’s impressive public rooms which are light and well proportioned and enjoy dramatic sea views to the south and west across the sound of Taransay, as do the majority of bedrooms.
The rooms are beautifully decorated and sympathetically furnished with antiques, paintings and pictures. As with many Scottish houses of the period, all the principal rooms are on the first floor.
In addition to the grand hall and panelled dining room, there is a drawing room, conference room, small sitting room, library and billiards room.
The castle is fully staffed and all meals are provided, the emphasis being on fresh local produce, which can include seafood (lobster, scallops and prawns) as well as salmon and sea trout and the Island’s venison and lamb. Any special requirements can, of course, be catered for.
The Estate offers unsurpassed sea trout and salmon fishing, outstanding stalking and rough shooting.
All this set amidst the drama and pristine wilderness of the Outer Hebrides – a paradise of steep hills and sea cliffs, white beaches and turquoise seas, remote glens and lochs.
Most fishermen who come to the castle return year after year to recapture the Island experience – a heady mix of traditional luxury and unspoilt wilderness.
