P153- UK - Kilchurn Castle in Scotland

Kilchurn Castle and tree, Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland, UK

Kilchurn Castle is a ruined 15th century structure on the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

It was the ancestral home of the Campbells of Glenorchy, who later became the Earls of Breadalbane also known as the Breadalbane family branch, of the Clan Campbell. The earliest construction on the castle was the towerhouse and Laich Hall (looks onto Loch Awe). Today, its picturesque setting and romantic state of decay make it one of the most photographed structures in Scotland.

Kilchurn城堡坐落在奥湖的一个半岛上，是一座巍巍壮观的废墟，耸立在芦苇丛和沼泽地中。它最初是一座五层高的方形塔楼，由Breadalbane 的第一任伯爵Colin Campbell修建于公于十五世纪中期，十六世纪又对其进行了扩建，到十七世纪末城堡形成以庭院为中心的建筑群。它似乎在十八世纪中期被遗弃，现在仍能想象其辉煌的历史。
