Now uninhabited, the estate has a rich history of townships and farms that were once a place where people went about their rural lives, producing and exchanging the things they needed to see them through each year. Many of these places have been mapped, but for the first time the Trust is investigating how whisky - both its making and smuggling - formed a part of life in this region. Join Derek and Daniel as they walk you through the archaeology sites, revealing evidence of exactly how people went about the clandestine production of Scotland's most famous drink.

Accommodations are for two nights for two guests, subject to availability. Tours are subject to availability at a mutually agreeable time. Offer is valid until December 31, 2022.

The centuries-old castle is situated on the whisky west coast of Argyll in Kilmartin Glen, with its burial cairns, standing stones older than the pyramids in Egypt, and stone circles.
