A 13th-century castle that was rebuilt from ruin in the 20th century and is still the home of the MacLean chiefs. You can walk the keep, dungeons and battlements, and the tearoom uses produce from the island and its own walled garden. Allow longer if you take the ferry from Oban and drive straight here.
