Kinloch Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kinloch Castle, located in the Isle of Rum, was built as a private residence for Sir George Bullough, a textile tycoon from Lancashire whose father bought the Isle as his summer residence. Construction began in 1898, and was finished in 1901. It is now managed by the Scottish Natural Heritage, and additionally supported by the Kinloch Castle Friends Association, a registered charitable organisation set up in 1996. The castle also appeared on the BBC television series Restoration as part of a bid for funds to restore the structure, reaching the final stages of the competition. Although it did not win the competition, its cause has since been taken up by the Phoenix Trust, a building restoration charity headed by the Prince of Wales. Funds are being sought for an £8 million scheme to restore the castle.
