Lochindorb Castle

Lochindorb is located on the Dava moor and is only a twenty minute drive from the Steading holiday cottage.

Lochindorb comes from the Gaelic meaning 'Loch of Trouble' and the castle located on the loch has certainly had its fair share of that!

Dating back to the 13th century, it was originally held by the Comyns, but later occupied by the English and was visited by Edward I in 1303 when he stayed here for 9 days, hunting out on the moor. Later it was used as a prison and also a garrison for English troops.

At the end of the 14th century, it was gifted by Robert II to his third son, the notorious Wolf of Badenoch, Alexander Stewart, who rampaged around quite a bit of the local area.

Why not find out for yourself why Lochindorb was said to be his favourite haunt.
