BOTURICH CASTLE, near Balloch
ACCESS : Private No access.
Listed B.
You may have been at Duck Bay on Loch Lomond and looked across the water to the far side. You may have noticed a large interesting building almost surrounded by trees, lawns stretching out in front, perhaps a large white marquee on those lawns. And wondered what that is. It is in fact Borurich Castle.
It was designed by Robert Lugar in 1830 incorporating a 15th century castle. Later additions were by Scott, Stephen and Gale in 1834. An octagonal entrance tower dates from 1850 and some remodelling was done in the late 19th century.
This map extract is dated 1860 and shows the castle in the centre with various other buildings on the estate. NLS ©
