The Castle itself dominates the steep south facing hillside which overlooks Loch Sunart.

The panoramic view takes in the islands of Risga, Carna and Oronsay and the Morven Hills on the far North side of the loch, which can be enjoyed from a number of the rooms inside.

No palatial property is without additional buildings and at Glenborrodale Castle these include a Gate Lodge, detached Coach House, gym, boathouse and jetty all situated in the 132.99 acres (53.82ha) of private grounds.

The grounds also include the private islands - Isle of Risga and Eilean an Feidh - meaning the new owners can take a day trip by boat to these uninhabited islands.

The location is described by Bell Ingram as: "Glenborrodale Castle is situated on the southern shore of the picturesque Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

"The area offers some of the most outstanding coast line scenery together with an abundance of wildlife.

"Otters, seals, porpoises, deer, golden and white-tailed eagles and a wide range of other birdlife are frequently seen from the property.

Sailing, angling, kayaking and whale watching are just some of the activities you can enjoy. Local amenities are available in the nearby villages of Salen and Acharacle including a primary school, doctor, dentist, shops and hotels."
