More information on this location
Set on slopes below the photo post you will see the medieval tower house of Corgarff castle which was originally a noble residence, before it became an army base for hunting down Jacobite sympathisers and, later, whisky smugglers. The castle is now open to the public.
The Corgarff cowls are a stopping point on the “Snow Road Scenic Route”.
