  Location of Glengorm Castle on Mull | |
Glengorm Castle, also known as Castle Sorne, is a 19th-century country house on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. Located in Mishnish, 6 kilometres (4 mi) northwest of Tobermory at the end of a dead end road, the house is protected as a Category B listed building.[1]
The Mishnish estate was purchased in 1856 by James Forsyth of Quinish.[1] He cleared the existing townships to make way for the new house, which was completed in 1860.[2]
The house was designed by Kinnear and Peddie in a Scots Baronial style.[1] Formerly being run as a guest house and wedding venue, now a family home, there is a café and shop in the former stables. The castle overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and on most days Coll and mainland Great Britain are clearly visible from the northern side of the castle, as well as Rùm, Canna and even Barra and Uist on clear days.
