The unique structure is well worth a visit
If you're venturing along the North Coast 500 this spring, you may come across what is believed to be the smallest castle in Europe.
Situated around three miles northwest of the Highland fishing village of Lochinver, the castle can be found by the coastal settlement of Achmelvich. Overlooking the glistening sea, Hermit's Castle stands as a miniature concrete structure that measures under 10 metres squared in area and just over seven feet tall.
However, according to locals, Scott ended up only spending a single weekend in the structure that had taken him so long to build. After returning to his home or Norwich, the castle was left abandoned.
