About
Tarbert Castle is located on the southern shore of East Loch Tarbert, at Tarbert, Argyll, Scotland, at the north end of Kintyre. Tarbert Castle was a strategic royal stronghold during the Middle Ages and one of three castles at Tarbert. The castle overlooks the harbour and although pre 14th century in construction, the tower dates back to 1494 and the visit of James IV to the Western Highlands.
Strategic royal castle with origins before the 14th century. Reinforced by Robert the Bruce in the 1320s with an outer bailey and towers. James IV added a tower house in the 1490s during his campaign against the Lords of the Isles. Recently restored with community efforts. Views stretch to the Firth of Clyde.
