Why it's Wildland
5.2At Loch Laich, the tide surrounds Castle Stalker’s small island, setting the castle against the waters and mountains of Argyll.
The appeal here is a distinctive meeting of tidal water, Highland scenery and a historic island castle. It is a worthwhile landscape stop, though the available evidence does not establish a wider network of visitor facilities or activities.
