Kilmartin Castle is a 16th-century Z-plan castle at Kilmartin, Scotland. Kilmartin Castle is located in the historically significant Kilmartin Glen. The glen is also home to Kilmartin Museum.
In 1550, the castle was built for the Rector of Kilmartin, John Carswell, and was later owned by Clan Campbell.
After 200 years as a ruin, the castle was restored and refurbished in the 1990's. The castle was then used as a second home. In 2019, Kilmartin Castle and grounds were renovated by Simon Hunt and Stephanie Burgon.
Kilmartin castle is now available as a luxury self-catering accommodation, sleeping 10, and hosts a handful of small weddings each year.
