Castle Stalker
Picturesque castle surrounded by water, near Oban
Privately Owned - Limited Public Access
Castle Stalker – in the Gaelic, Stalcaire, meaning Hunter or Falconer – is believed originally to have been the site of a Fortalice (a small fortified building) belonging to the MacDougalls when they were Lords of Lorn, and built around 1320. The MacDougalls lost their title after their defeat by King Bruce at Brander Pass in 1308, but regained it for a period after 1328. In about 1388, the Lordship of Lorn passed to the Stewarts, which included Castle Stalker.
The castle is privately owned but we do run a limited number of tours each year – these can be arranged by prior appointment. Contact Form.
