Innes Chonnel Castle, Medieval castle ruin on Innis Chonnell island, Loch Awe, Scotland.

The remains of Innis Chonnel Castle stand on a small island in Loch Awe, featuring thick outer walls and structural elements from the 13th century.

The castle served as the primary stronghold of Clan Campbell until Sir Colin Campbell died in battle against Clan MacDougall at Red Ford in 1296.

The fortress represents the architectural and military methods used by Scottish clans, demonstrating the strategic importance of water-bound fortifications.

Access to the castle requires a boat journey across Loch Awe, and visitors should arrange transportation and guides in advance through local providers.

The castle functioned as a prison where Domhnall Dubh, heir to the Lordship of the Isles, was held after the Battle of Bloody Bay in 1484.
