The view looking across Loch Linnhe has Kingairloch Church and Glengalmadale clearly visible five miles away. The mountain on the right (north-west) is Creach Bheinn at 2,798 feet. Its peak is about seven miles away but about thirty by road and ferry.
The castle sits on an island named Eilean an Stalcaire and the smaller one nearby is Eilean a' Ghaill. Stalcaire translates as hunter or stalker, hence the name.
Castle Stalker dates back all the way to around 1320 and has, to put it mildly, an interesting past involving several families and many changes of ownership.
Parking nearby is very limited but there's a café a half mile or so north with good views of the castle, parking and a path down to the shore.
