An unfortunate juxtaposition.
From the castle to the anchorage

There are only two reasons to linger in this temporary anchorage - you are either very keen on castles, or you want an emergency beach stop for the children. Otherwise avert your eyes from the huge caravan park which surrounds the whole place. Castle Sween is very old, built in the late 12th century, modified over the years and then abandoned in the mid 17th century. It still stands bound to its rock and no doubt will continue to do so for long after the caravans have disintegrated.
