A great castle full of history . Mary Queen of Scots was held prisoners here before escaping . It's a 45 min tour on the island as you can only access it by boat . Just for it's location it's well worth the visit .

A unique experience for a Scottish castle. Picnic benches are available on the island, inside and outside the castle, so taking a picnic is definitely possible.

Another amazing wee Castle to visit if you find yourself in the area. This Castle sits on its own small island within Loch Leven. To get to the Castle you will need to take a small boat, the boat ride over takes like 10 or 15 minutes. The boat only takes up to 12 people at a time if I remember rightly. Probably best to book tickets in advance as the boat leaves at certain times of the day, im sure its every 45 minutes, so booking a ticket will let you know when to arrive saves you from waiting around. There are public toilets on the island and loads of places to take really nice. It's really easy to walk around the entire Castle and island although I'm not to sure if it would be suitable for prams or wheelchairs. Probably best to ask when booking tickets. There are some benches and tables on the island so maybe pack a small picnic there's no shops on the island to buy anything. It's uninhabited.

Visited using our explorer pass. The castle is on an Island and needs to be reached via boat which runs every 45 minutes with maximum capacity of 10-12 people. So, pre booking is necessary to avoid disappointment. Free car parking onsite.

Oh goodness, it was a gorgeous day! Took the first boat at 10am (bought ticket day before but highly recommended is to buy it a few days before!). Great experience on the loch, it was like a mirror, and at the interesting castle. Skipper was Steve, he explained about the wildlife a bit on the boat and answered questions. In the store is Ray who is real fun. Just a wonderful experience all around.
