A prominent large stone castle overlooking the village
Built by Robert II ("King Bob") in the 1370's. Two great feasting halls, one above the other, with great vaults beneath. Remains of an earlier but equally grand 13th century castle of the Stewarts are visible. Recent archaeological excavations have shown that the castle hill was occupied by a large fort in the Dark Ages and a prehistoric hill fort before that.
