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.
While you may be familiar with Scotland's many grand and imposing castles, whether it's Edinburgh Castle in the capital or a grand countryside retreat you can even stay in, Hermit's Castle is another story.
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.
