I parked on the A819 layby and walked across the field for the view to the castle over the loch. Its a very boggy/wet field - if you get back to the car with dry feet you've done well! Nice view, o… Full review by Waddler

This is an ok ruin, which is currently not accessible. It's only possible to view it from a far, as well as some local sheep (and a rather nasty land owner). Full review by TheShis

Kilchurn castle is a shell of a building on the side of a loch. It didn't look like it would ever be "closed" to me. If I remember correctly, we parked in a rather basic parking lot and walked down a long path. There might have been a simple gate that we had to open. I read another previous answer that said it is closed to the extent that you can't walk to the top of it, but you can walk around it and in the lower part. (I agree -- its a ruin and you wouldn't want to go up to the upper areas. )
We are getting married near Kilchurn Castle in October 2020, would we be able to take pictures with the castle in the background? How close to th castle can we get? Also, if we wanted to get married at Kilchurn Castle do you know who we contact to make these arrangements? Many thanks

Hi! We've read that Kilchurn Castle is closed until further notice. Is this still in effect? We will be in the area the end of May and are planning a visit if it is open. If anyone has up-to-date information, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi! The castle is closed which means you can't climb to the top of it, but don't let that stop you. You can walk round it and there are places you can see into the interior. It's still well worth a visit for its location, right on the loch, and for the views you get of it as you approach. Hope you enjoy your visit to the area and that you do go and visit it.
