Strategic military key to the kingdom, particularly during the 13th and 14th century Wars of Independence and later the favourite royal residence of many of the Stuart monarchs. The first evidence of wooden fortification here dates to the 11th century, but much of the Castle seen today, including the Palace, Chapel Royal and Great Parliament Hall is magnificent renaissance architecture, with strong French influence. The castle offers various imaginative historical displays, 16th century kitchens, guided tours and the superb Regimental Museum of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
