Castle Campbell
Posted in Architecture at 12:00 on 5 January 2021
Castle Campbell lies in the hills above Dollar, Clackmannanshire, at the top of Dollar Glen. We visited it in October 2019.
The road leading up to it is quite narrow and the car park is a shortish walk away from the castle itself.
It wasn’t busy the day we went but it may be more so in summer.

This ceiling has two carvings of faces that look a bit like the Green Man. There are holes at the mouths and it’s thought that lamps probably hung from there:-
