Ardvreck Castle
Painting No. 29
The shell of this 15th Century castle looks imposing on its promontory on the north side of Loch Assynt, surrounded by the wild, surreal mountains of this remote region. Originally, the castle belonged to the MacLeods of Assynt. General James Graham, Earl of Montrose, came begging food and shelter here in 1650 after being defeated while fighting for the exiled Charles II. He thought he had come to friends, but Neil MacLeod imprisoned him and sold him for execution for £25 000. Today, the ruins look romantic through tourist lenses. Only the dungeon below hints at the treacherous past. Dark secrets are easily hidden by an attractive appearance.
