Dun Ara

This castle is located on the Glengorm estate near Tobermory. It occupies the summit of a prominent rocky outcrop. The ascent is easy from the south-east side and the castle's foundations are clearly visible. There is a harbour on the west side of the castle and it is thought that the access would have mainly been by sea. Below the summit are a number of ruined buildings which are most likely to have been associated with the castle. On a clear day there are views out to Quinish Point, Ardnamurchan Point, Coll, Rum and the Uists.
