Things to see and do Barra

Kisimul Castle is the only true medieval castle still visible in the Outer Hebrides. Set in Castlebay, it is the seat of the MacNeils of Barra. It was built in the ^15th century on its splendid site, but they arrived on the island as early as the ^11th century. It was completely restored by a descendant of the family in the ^20th century. You can walk around its 3 floors and take a boat tour (included in the price) when it is open to the public. Be careful, it is currently under construction, you can only see it from the outside.
