Continuing my journey across the Highlands, I visited Kilchurn Castle, Inveraray, and Oban.
Kilchurn castle was cool because we hopped a fence and waded through marshy areas to get close. Make sure to wear water-proof shoes or hiking boots when venturing into the Highlands- you never know where you’ll end up!
In Inverary, we visited Inverary Castle where the Downton Abbey episode Into the Highlands was filmed. It was an honor to walk in the shoes of the great Dame Maggie Smith.
On our way to Oban, we stopped at Saint Konan’s Kirk. It’s a little church built in the middle of a forest by Walter Campbell so that when his mother became sick, she could have a church nearby. Despite its humble origins, a chapel was built for Robert the Bruce and a bone fragment of his is interred here.
Our final stop on this journey was Oban. Oban was super cute. Here I found a little chocolate shop where I now order boxes to be delivered to my flat.
All in all a pleasant way to spend a weekend!
