Old Photograph Breachacha Castle Isle Of Coll Scotland
Old photograph of Breachacha Castle on the Isle of Coll which is West of Isle Of Mull, Scotland. Breachacha Castle is either of two structures on the shore of Loch Breachacha. The earlier castle, also called Old Breachacha Castle, is a 15th century tower house that was a stronghold of the Macleans of Coll, the island having been granted to John Maclean in 1431. This castle was superseded by a new dwelling in 1750 before falling into a ruinous state only in the mid 19th century. The newer Breachacha Castle, also known as Breachacha House, was built in the mid 18th century northwest of the old castle. It was in this house that Samuel Johnson and James Boswell stayed on their tour of the Hebrides.
