Castle Sinclair and Girnigoe

Once the stronghold of the mighty Sinclair Clan, today Sinclair Castle clings perilously to the cliff face. A (careful) walk around the ruin provides a hint at the gruesome history of this fortified tower. The area also boasts a secluded pebble beach and stunning lighthouse.
