Old Lachlan Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Loch Fyne, Scotland.

The rectangular structure measures 21 meters in length and 16 meters in width, with stone walls reaching 13 meters toward the sky.

The castle construction began in the early 15th century, replacing an earlier fortress mentioned in documents from 1314.

The Maclachlan clan leaders maintained the castle until 1746, when their support for the Jacobite cause led to military retaliation.

Visitors can access the castle grounds through a marked path from the parking area, with a walking time of 10 minutes.

Two tower houses stand within the castle courtyard, flanking an ancient well that remains visible among the stone remnants.
