Castle Tioram (Cheerum) sat on the tidal island of Eilean Tioram, where Loch Moidart and the River Shiel meet. Make your way down a 2 mile stretch of single-track road, arriving at a small woodland car park, situated beside a sandy beach. Follow the beach and you can't miss it. This was an important fortification for Clanranald and, as such, the Lordship of the Isles. One origin story puts the creation of Tioram down to Amie MicRuari, wife of John of Islay, Lord of the isles, suggesting a 14th-century creation. However, architectural examination puts the earliest part no later than the 13th century. As with all castles, though, it wasn't all completed in one phase. A little more tricky to reach than most castles, but this is definitely one to have in your top 10 castles in Scotland! #tartanviking #meninkilts #highlander #scotland #scottish #scotlandtiktok #tiktokscotland #visitscotland #scottishtiktok #scotlandtravel #travelscotland #scotlandadventures #bloodofmyblood #outlander #castle
