EXPLORING A MEDIEVAL CASTLE IN THE HIGHLANDS | wooden cabin, cliff walk & a magical island fortress

On our last Scottish adventure we stayed in a cosy wooden cabin in the Scottish Highlands (near Strontium and Loch Sunart), where the mountains meet the sea. We hiked along a cliff to a small tidal island to explore Castle Tioram, the remains of a fortress built around the 14th century. This is the wooden cabin we stayed at: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/528093...
