Castle Stalker & Islet

Appin

With difficult accessibility (you can only get there by boat), this 14th-century castle sitting atop a small island evokes a mystical sense of a fairytale in a far-off land. Capture the stone and vine-covered architecture from the mainland, as it basks in the late afternoon sun rays that are piercing through the clouds.

This image of Castle Stalker and the island was taken on the west coast of the city of Appin. When driving to this location, you can find parking at The Old Inn (56.572072, -5.379212). From there, walk south near the path toward the cycle track. Turn right and you'll find the Castle boathouse and jetty about 30 meters along on your left. Reference the GPS Coordinates to see where I stood to get this west-facing view of Castle Stalker. By public transportation: - Closest bus station: Post Cottage (via 405 and 918 lines) - Head southeast on A828 - Turn right
