The romantic ruin of Brochel Castle, Raasay
There is not a great deal left of this castle, but its superb setting surely makes it one of the most romantic ruins in the British Isles, and certainly one of the least visited. However, shamefully, it did not even make the top ten in the BBC Countryfile Magazine's search in 2010 for the UK's most romantic ruin. Proof perhaps that the panel, who selected the short list, need to get out more and further from London!
