Castle Stalker

Built around 1320 for the MacDougalls, the castle today belongs to the Stewarts. Gaelic name is Stalcaire, meaning Hunter or Falconer. The castle was acquired in 1965 by Lt. Col. D. R. Stewart Allward who restored the castle over a period of ten years. The castle is privately owned and is open for visitor during selected times over the summer, to be arranged in advance. Featured in 1975 Monty Python and the Holy Grail as one of the sites for the Castle of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh. The virtual tour is a set of images you click between, with a blueprint of the castle serving as a point of reference on the right side of the screen. For each movement, a text appears beneath the image with information on the view. For each location, you can look right and left and some will have a pop-up window containing more information. Accessibility note: The castle does not accomodate wheelchair users. Access to the castle requires the ability to enter/exist a boat and there are steps in and around the castle.
