Touring $785,000 Scotland CASTLE Mega Mansion
Kilberry Castle is the epitome of historic Scottish Baronial Tower Houses — built in the 15th century, it has undergone everything from a pirate attack, being besieged during the 1643-1645 civil war, to almost being destroyed by a fire.
In 1550, the Campbell family acquired the Kilberry lands and the castle has, quite amazingly, stayed in the same family ever since.
Today, the property is a gateway for stepping back in time. Yes, there are original open fireplaces, decorative cornicing and galleried landings, but in one of the 10 bedrooms is a museum-like shrine to the era.
The newspaper bedroom is symbolic to the wider historical context that the property projects, having been attacked by the English pirate Captain Proby in 1513 (the evidence of which is transcribed in a note above the front door), and burnt down whilst in the hands of Colin Campbell, in 1773.
It remained in a state of disregard until 1840, when John Campbell the 9th of Kilberry added the circular tower and northern additions to the property. The renovation was completed in 1873 with the further additions of the western wing and billiard room.
Today, there are 10 bedrooms and five main reception rooms, with a further four ‘secondary’ bedrooms, four bathrooms, and orangery (or rather, what’s left of one) and flexible basement accommodation. Many of the rooms have spectacular coastal views over the coast of Islay and Jura, Gyha and the Mull of Kintyre.
