Achallader Castle, 16th-century tower house in Argyll and Bute, Scotland
The stone structure rises with two remaining walls near Loch Tulla, displaying traces of corbelling and standing among farm buildings at Achallader Farm.
Sir Duncan Campbell of Glen Orchy obtained the castle in 1587 through strategic actions against the Mcinleisters following disputes over pasture rights.
The castle witnessed significant Highland negotiations in 1691 when John, Earl of Breadalbane, gathered with clan chiefs to discuss loyalty to King William.
The castle remains are visible from both the road and railway lines while traveling northward toward Fort William from Bridge of Orchy.
The MacGregors set fire to the castle in 1603, and the McIains later dismantled sections in 1689, leading to its current partially preserved state.
