The ruins of Lochranza Castle are close
to the centre of the village. The earliest
parts of the Castle were built from the mid
1200s for the MacSweens.
You can explore the castle inside and
out, and read the many plaques that give
information on its history, and how it was
used.

The image below is from the Lochranza
Slip for the small ferry to Kintyre.
This view shows the castle and houses
all around, a great area for hill walking
with amazing views.

The image below is of the inexpensive
ferry that runs all day between Lochranza
and the Kintyre peninsular. This is a good
route to visit Campbeltown
on Kintyre. You just wait in line to board,
no bookings for the 30 minute crossing.
