Loch Moidart and Castle Tioram

We enjoyed some beautiful evenings in Loch Moidart over the summer and had the chance to explore the ruins of Castle Tioram (pronounced Cheerum), situated on the rocky tidal island Eilean Tioram (the Dry Island) where the waters of Loch Moidart and the river Shiel meet. The castle is the ancestral home of the Macdonalds of Clanranald and is one of the foremost surviving examples of a 13th century castle in Scotland.
