Castle Stalker, Medieval tower house in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

Castle Stalker rises as a four-story stone structure on a tidal islet in Loch Laich, surrounded by the waters of western Scotland.

The Stewarts reconstructed the castle during the 1440s after taking control of the Lordship of Lorn from Clan MacDougall in 1388.

The name Stalker originates from the Gaelic word Stalcaire, reflecting the traditional Scottish practice of naming places based on their functions.

Visitors can access the castle through scheduled tours during summer months, requiring advance reservations due to its location on a tidal islet.

The castle transferred ownership to Clan Campbell following a drinking session bet with King James IV of Scotland around 1620.
