Old photograph of Breachacha Castle on the shore of Loch Breachacha on the Isle of Coll which is West of Isle Of Mull, Scotland. This is a 15th century tower house that was a stronghold of the Clan Macleas of Coll, the island having been granted to John Maclean in 1431. This castle was superseded by a new dwelling in 1750 but continued to be occupied for a time, falling into a ruinous state only in the middle of the 19th century. The castle was restored to habitable condition only in the 1960s, by Major Neil V. MacLean Bristol and his wife Lavinia.
