Mary of Guise often lived here, and it was a favourite resort of her daughter, Mary Stuart. Between 1561 and 1566 the latter visited it many times, and found much pleasure here in hunting and other outdoor sports. James VI was also par- tial to living here, and two attempts on his person, one of them the famous Gowrie con- spiracy, were made here. The last monarchs here were Charles I and Charles II, both of whom made short visits. Its last visitor of fame was Rob Roy Macgregor, who took pos- s...ession and plundered it after the battle of Sheriff muir in 1715. All that is now left of the original quad- rangle is the south side, and a ruinous wall on the east. The building is partly inhabited, and architecturally resembles Stirling and Linlithgow Palaces. Lochleven Castle Lochleven Castle is one of the best and least changed examples of a fourteenth century keep remaining in Scotland. It stands on an island in the loch of the same name, which is under the control of an association of anglers.
