Kinloch Castle, Category A listed stately home in Highland, Scotland
Located on Rùm island, Kinloch Castle features red sandstone walls, Tudor-style architecture, and extensive formal gardens spread across the estate grounds.
The castle was constructed between 1897 and 1900 by textile magnate George Bullough, who inherited the island from his father John Bullough in 1891.
During its peak period, the castle held grand gatherings where guests participated in hunting expeditions, played squash, bowled, and danced in the ballroom.
Scottish Natural Heritage manages the property, offering guided tours that showcase the preserved Victorian rooms, original furniture, and historical artifacts.
The castle houses an Orchestrion, a rare electric-powered mechanical music instrument initially intended for Queen Victoria, which remains in its original location.
