The romantic ruins of the old Keiss Castle right on the cliff are very easy to reach from Keiss Harbour. You can't get past the new Keiss Castle, the owner has locked the gates to the road.

What a great little castle. Amazing to see it still standing after so many years. Very cool little place to visit and explore the ruins - never quite seen anything like it.

Keiss Castle – Ruin on the Edge of the World This 16th-century tower ruin teeters spectacularly on a cliff above Sinclair’s Bay, just outside the village of Keiss. The walk to it (approx. 2km return) starts at the harbour and takes you past abandoned brochs, coastal defences and rugged beach scenery. You can spot seals, otters and seabirds along the way. The ruin itself is not accessible, but the views are unforgettable.

This is all on main roads and we are monitoring it to see if we can find a better route.

The parking lot at Castle Sinclair does not have any sanitary facilities, but it is permitted to spend the night here (once) - and this is also used a lot! The sunrise and sunset are certainly spectacular... The parking fees are moderate - and according to the sign, they are not even enforced (so they are voluntary).

From the paid parking lot, you can reach the ruins via an easy path. Access to the ruins is generally free, and there is a donation box at the entrance. After exploring, you should also pay a visit to the lighthouse.
