Usually Kilchurn Castle can be accessed via a causeway leading to the island it is situated on, but sometimes the causeway is flooded. This might especially occur in winter, but also after heavy rainfalls. When we visited there was no chance at all of getting to the castle, the causeway was so flood we would have needed to swim there!

Favorite thing: Loch Awe is located within wonderful landscape, about forty kilometers from the Trossachs. The hills had a golden colour when we visited (maybe they look different in summer), and at the shores there was a high weed that also looked somewhat golden. It was very atmospheric and I enjoyed the scenery a lot - I took more pictures of the surroundings than of the castle itself!
From the carpark, there is a short walk leading to the causeway, providing great views of the hills and the shore.
