One Castle and Its Restoration on the Scottish Shores of Loch Breachacha

The shores of Loch Breachacha on the Isle of Coll, Scotland, are home to one castle - the Breachacha Castle, a 15th-century tower house. John Maclean was granted Breachacha in 1431, making it a stronghold of the Macleans of Coll. The Breachacha Castle, also known as the 'earlier Breachacha Castle', was a tower house, occupied until it fell into a ruinous state in the mid-19th century. Work was performed in the 1930s to prevent further dilapidation. Brig.-Gen. Ernest Moncrieff Paul obtained permission to take Stewart of Coll as his surname and made Breachacha Castle his seat. The castle was restored to livable condition only in the 1960s, by Nicholas MacLean-Bristol and his wife Lavinia. The castle, also known as 'Breachacha House', is a Category A listed building.
