Kinlochaline Castle, Tower house in Morvern, Scotland.
The four-story stone fortress measures 43 by 34 feet with walls constructed from 10-foot-thick sandstone blocks at the head of Loch Aline.
Built in the 15th century, the castle suffered extensive fire damage in 1644 during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms after being besieged by Alasdair Mac Colla.
The castle's Gaelic name, Caisteal an Ime, relates to a MacInnes Clan lady who paid the builder with butter equal to the structure's volume.
Following restoration efforts in the late 1990s supervised by Historic Scotland, the Category B listed building now functions as a private residence.
Archaeological investigations in 1998 revealed a previously unknown pit prison within the structure during renovation work.
