In 2001 in spite of the foot and mouth disease we were able to walk to Carnasserie Castle which lies on a hill where sheep have their pasture. Entrance was free. The castle which is built in renaissance style commands the southern approach to Loch Awe thus complementing Kilchurn Castle at the northern end of Loch Awe. For further information on the castle itself I recommend the site of the Clan Campbell Society of North America.
