Moy Castle

Moy Castle is a dramatic fifteenth-century tower ruin positioned on a rocky crag overlooking the sea on the Isle of Mull's south coast. Built by the Maclean clan around the 14th-15th century near Lochbuie, this three-storey tower with gabled garret stands as a scheduled monument. The castle occupies a remote, picturesque setting above lovely sandy beaches and has historical significance within Scottish Clan history, having been contested between the Macleans and Campbells. Though uninhabitable and requiring external viewing only, the castle landscape attracts visitors seeking authentic Highland ruins and natural coastal beauty. The nearby beach is safe for swimming and frequently visited by sea eagles nesting in hillside cliffs.
