UK - Scotland - Argyll & Bute - Isle of Coll - Old Breachacha Castle

            June 2012.
Mini-break based in Oban visiting Inner Hebridean Islands and Western Highlands.
The isle of Coll is a small hebridean island some four miles west of Mull. It is approximately 13 miles long and 4 miles at it's widest. It has a population of around 200 all-year residents. 
Coll was home for some 500 years to a branch of the Clan Maclean. In 1590 the Macleans of Duart invaded their cousins on Coll with the intention of taking the island for themselves. A battle was fought at Breachacha Castle where the Coll clan overwhelmed the Duarts, chopped off their heads and threw them in the stream which is still known as "the stream of the heads". The Macleans of Coll retained their baronial fief and Castle of Breachacha until 1848.
