Amhuinnsuidhe Castle Amhuinnsuidhe Castle dates from 1868. Built by architect David Bryce in the Scottish Baronial style for Charles Murray, the 7th Earl of Dunmore. This is a fine country house and looks out into Loch Leosavay, an opening in West Loch Tarbert. The castle and estate passed through the hands of Lord Leverhulme, the Scott family and Sir Thomas Sopwith, the aircraft-manufacturing tycoon, it’s also been owned by the Bulmer (cider) family. The castle was separated from much of its North Harris estate following a buy-out by the local community in 2002. It's now used for sporting events and corporate entertaining

The isle of Harris is famous for it's scenery. Rocky hillside surrounded by white, sandy beaches and tropical coloured waters, it's seriously beautiful.
