The remarkable Hermit's Castle, on the shore at Achmelvich near Lochinver in Sutherland. This concrete folly was built in 1950 and, so the story goes, used for just one weekend before being abandoned. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lochinver/hermitscastle/index.html

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

While we are at Achmelvich we visit the elusive Hermit's Castle, built in 1950 on a rocky headland. It's been called Europe's smallest castle and is actually a concrete folly built in a Brutalist style that blends surprisingly well into its rocky shoreside setting.
